Arch Linux User Repository

I couldn't reopen the application after updating. /usr/lib/zotero/zotero: line 20: /zotero-bin: File or directory not found. Yesterday, August 9th, 2023, they officially released Zotero 7, so I suppose they changed the names to drop the 'beta' label. Now available: Zotero 7 - Zotero Forums

➜  ~ zotero
/usr/bin/zotero: line 20: /zotero-bin: No such file or directory

After update, there is something wrong in the path of the executable file

The last version of the package does not work properly as the patch does not apply correctly.

Here the patch i made to make it work
