Please do not flag out of date unless the package is behind the upstream version. If you're having trouble launching menulibre due the following error, reinstalling the package should fix it.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/menulibre", line 40, in <module>
import menulibre
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'menulibre'

Hi @dieghor, I'm able to build the package without problems. Try to uninstall the package, clear your AUR helper cache and try to reinstall.

Hi, this may be a really noob question, but i've been searching for days about this issue and tried a couple thing but nothing worked. I'm getting this output when trying to update the package:

To build menulibre you need https://launchpad.net/python-distutils-extra :: Unable to build menulibre - makepkg exited with code: 4

I've the package installed from community, which is this one: community/python-distutils-extra 2.39-8 [installed]

I've changed the PKGBUILD to python3, but nothing happened.

@jonian whatever change you made seemed to fix it, thank you so much!

@dvcky I have released a fix. Please try again with the installation.

For some reason, I am having issues installing this package. I think it has something to do with GTK4 and the recent GNOME 40, but I'm not sure. Here's the error log I get:

/var/tmp/pamac-build-dvcky/menulibre/src/menulibre-2.2.1/menulibre_lib/helpers.py:21: PyGIWarning: Gtk was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Gtk', '4.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Any idea how to fix?

Can you up the number on AUR so that people will rebuild the package? then it will work fine again

@jonian Thank you for the reply, I uninstalled menulibre, updated python and then reinstalled it.

@zangoku this package does not require a specific python version. I have both python 3.9.0-1 and menulibre installed without issues.

":: installing python (3.9.0-1) breaks dependency 'python<3.9' required by menulibre"

No new release yet, but as of June 2020, this project has moved to Github: https://launchpad.net/menulibre/+announcement/23266
