Tor browser launcher.

[Ger van Dijck]

Hi All,

I did an update for the torbrowser-launcher today to version  
0.3.1-1.fc29.noarch and suddenly I can not launch the browser anymore .

Question : What is wrong and / or how can I solve this problem ?

Regards ,

Ger van Dijck.

I don't know what is wrong.  If you launch it from an xterm, are there
any error messages printed before it fails?  If you look in the journal
immediately after it fails using journalctl -r, are there any messages
there?

It's possible that a library it needs was updated with it, but the
version currently in use is the wrong version.  Running, as
root, ldconfig, would reload the libraries.  I'm not sure if dnf does
that automatically when it updates a library.  If that fails try a
reboot (if it is a library problem).

There could be a problem with the spec file, and it has a dependency on
another package that isn't explicit, so it is failing because that
dependency hasn't been updated.

The error messages should help pinpoint the issue.

I see
$ torbrowser-launcher
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/torbrowser-launcher", line 29, in <module>
    import torbrowser_launcher
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/torbrowser_launcher/__init__.py", line

    from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtWidgets

sudo dnf install python2-qt5
If that works, then file a bug report on torbrowser-launcher because the 
dependency needs to be fixed.

That fixed it. I'll bug it.

On a fairly fresh F29 install python2-gpg and python2-requests are also missing
dependencies.  You may want to add that to your bugzilla.
