Please do not flag out of date unless the package is behind the upstream version.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'

the following patch fixed it for me:

Running menulibre on my end also returns the same error as j1simon (https://aur.archlinux.org/account/j1simon).

Same problem for me, can't launch menulibre

I can't execute it:

$ menulibre

I've reinstalled it but same problem.

@Turo hi, I can't reproduce the problem. It works without problems for me.

hi, since this last few days i can't launch menulibre any more. I get this output error:

/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/menulibre/MenulibreApplication.py menulibre arch linux ...

I have re-build it but it is still not ok.

@PhotonX and @spsf64: that did it, thank you.

@phil.dubois: When rebuilding, make sure that the build directory is empty.

@phil.dubois you have to rebuild the package because of new python

The following error is not solved by reinstalling the package:

phil@desktop ~ % menulibre
