xkcdpass version 1.19.3 doesn't work #146

Closed ayushnix closed 2 years ago

I'm getting this error whenever I execute xkcdpass.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/xkcdpass", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('xkcdpass==1.19.3', 'console_scripts', 'xkcdpass')())

Hi!

What's the OS version you are running on? Did you install it via pip or manually? Did you provide xkcd any arguments when you ran this?

ayushnix commented 2 years ago

I'm using Arch Linux. It is using python version 3.10.2. I've installed xkcdpass version 1.19.3 from the AUR. I didn't try installing it using pip. I ran xkcdpass with and without arguments and received the same error.

Seems it's not an issue with xkcdpass specifically. Other people were having similar issues with other packages.

Apparently, a fix is to rebuild your AUR packages but I don't have any experience with that, so I can't help you there ;)

Hey @ayushnix - I'm afraid I don't have anything to do with the AUR package (and I'm not very familiar with arch in general). Does the pip installed version work for you?

ayushnix commented 2 years ago

@anakimluke thanks, a reinstallation worked.

@redacted my bad, sorry for the noise.
