webkit2gtk should be put in depends.

$ ldd /usr/bin/com.gitlab.newsflash
...
        libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37 => /usr/lib/libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37 (0x00007f5ba386c000)
        libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0.so.18 => /usr/lib/libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0.so.18 (0x00007f5ba1f84000)

Since newsflash libhandy1 branch has merged with the master one. You should maybe change the dependency libhandy to "libhandy>=1" or libhandy-1.so. It will use libhandy1 or libhandy-git

@Stunkymonkey Yes but it's in makedepends, it won't execute without that library installed so it needs to be in depends.

@pauper libhandy is already an dependency and i added git. thanks

This failed when starting up because there was no libhandy library so that should be in depends.

Also git should be included in makedepends

Thanks @Stunkymonkey - working again now.

try it again. I think this was an upstream issue

When I compiled, one of the cargos used a unsafe method or something, telling me to use a beta or nightly toolchain. It worked after installing that, at least for me. Probably just my system needed updating.

thanks for hinting, that something is missing in the dependencies. I tested it in docker and added now webkit2gtk and libhandy. I do not understand your findings about beta/nightly, but they should be resolved by updating your system.
