Plugin not loading after upgrade to pgRouting 2.1.0

[copossum]

When starting QGis, pgRoutingLayer produces the error message stated below. It used to work fine until I upgraded to pgRouting 2.1.0. The database is Postgres 9.5 with PostGis 2.2.1 running on Ubuntu 16. The database encoding is UTF-8.

Couldn't load plugin pgRoutingLayer due to an error when calling its initGui() method
