Since today or yesterday I can't start vorta anymore.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 563, in from_name
    return next(cls.discover(name=name))
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    raise PackageNotFoundError(name)
importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: No package metadata was found for vorta

Edit: A reinstallation of vorta fixed it.
Must happened because of a python package update.

Some packages still tried to use a old python version.
See pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.10

For some reason, when I start Vorta from KDE using the desktop (or autostart) entry, I can't run backup as I always get the "Connection closed by remote host. Is borg working on the server?" message. Backup only works for me when I run Vorta from the command line, even when running the desktop entry via the "dex" command.

@yochanamarqos: thanks! (I guess using the flatpak version is a temporary workaround.)

@emacsomancer: There's an open issue about it: https://github.com/borgbase/vorta/issues/1083

I'm now getting errors when i try to run vorta:

@renyuneyun: Nope. Can't reproduce it building in a clean chroot.

@bjo: python-setuptools is only required to build.

Two more missing dependencies: python-setuptools-git and python-pytest-runner. Missing them would cause pip to infinitely search for a valid version for them and it always fails:

(Though I'm not sure why pip complains about this, rather than finding the latest version and use it.)

Hello Below is my patch it's also fixes icon, as no "-symbolic" in com.borgbase.Vorta.desktop file

I hope I will find some time today to include the patch.

Any chance to include the required patches here in the package as long as they are not merged upstream to get this package going again?
