Please do not flag out of date unless the package is behind the upstream version. If you're having trouble launching menulibre due the following error, reinstalling the package should fix it.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/menulibre", line 40, in <module>
import menulibre
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'menulibre'

A well made and essential application, it should really be part of core GNOME! It seems to be far less buggy than the now ancient Alacarte Editor.

Changing the PKGBUILD didn't work for me.

transformer% which python3
/usr/bin/python3
transformer% which python
/usr/bin/python
transformer% pacman -Q python3
python 3.7.4-1

In PKGBUILD file it needs to be changed "python setup.py install --root="$pkgdir/" --optimize=1" to "python3 setup.py install --root="$pkgdir/" --optimize=1"

Hi, Latest version is 2.2.1

The current version has python errors, application does not open

I got the error: UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 60: unexpected end of data

This patch is needed to make it work. https://launchpadlibrarian.net/413008793/cut.patch

New error:

Running menulibre on my end also returns the same error as j1simon (https://aur.archlinux.org/account/j1simon).

Same problem for me, can't launch menulibre
