Why was there a tracker in this package ?

Malicious action from the current maintainer. This is now reverted, and the account has been banned. We will accept the pending orphan request for this package as soon as it can be accepted, so the package should be free for adoption after that.

I'm happy to promote someone as co-maintainer in the mean time if anyone is interested to jump in before that.

FYI the python problem occured again, this time to 3.9

for myself, I solved it by symlinking the mate-menu folder into the 3.9 site-packages directory and now it works again (also, that caused about twenty mate-menus to appear in my panel, since I had tried adding it ... often)

I'm trying to update mate-menu 20.04.1-2 to 20.04.3-1 but it fails sha256sums validation test. So it fails to compile mate-menu.

What is the solution for this?

Since 20.04.1 python-unidecode is no more a dependency.

Other solution is to install https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python37/ Or use downgrader to python version 3.7 + block package

(If it doesn't exist in 3.8)

sudo cp -r /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/mate* /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages

and

sudo pacman -S python-cairo

This should work. Requires python-cairo to function, must be in python3.8 site packages.

@cornelius: bug reported -> https://github.com/ubuntu-mate/mate-menu/issues/67

The Advanced MATE Menu does not start since I updated the packages on my system the last time. I get the following error:

Activating service name='org.mate.panel.applet.MateMenuAppletFactory' requested by ':1.12' (uid=1000 pid=1683 comm="mate-panel ")
org.mate.panel.applet.MateMenuAppletFactory[1606]: No module named 'mate_menu'
Activated service 'org.mate.panel.applet.MateMenuAppletFactory' failed: Process org.mate.panel.applet.MateMenuAppletFactory exited with status 1

I think it has to do with an update of Python 3 that has now the version 3.8. When I move the 'mate_menu' folder from /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages to /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages, starting the applet works again.

Does this package need an upgrade in order to work with the package upgrade of Python 3 in Arch Linux?
