Please add the udisks2 runtime dependency.

@nobicycle: Please read Terseus comment, this version is not compatible with python3.8 (current Arch version), you need to use the usbmultboot-git package.

multibootusb 9.2.0-4

you should drop pyqt5-common... resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages... :: python-pyqt5 and pyqt5-common are in conflict. Remove pyqt5-common? [y/N]

The package "pyqt5-common" has been removed from the repos but it's required by this package, it should be removed.

Hello, this version version is incompatible with python 3.8.0 use multibootusb-git

/usr/bin/multibootusb:194: SyntaxWarning: "is not" with a literal. Did you mean "!="? if uninstall is True and config.usb_disk is not '':

@ptrxyz @freaz deleting /tmp/multibootusb.log also worked for me (thanks @freaz!), and for the same reason - initially running multibootusb without root: "In short it seems the first time I ran multibootusb without root it created a /tmp/multibootusb.log file. Then when running it as root when it tries to import the config file it for some reason can't because of incorrect permissions/ownership on that log file"

Just to be clear - I'll look into these errors. But the first and the last time I installed this package, it was installed correctly.
