Variety does not start after the latest update. When started from the terminal it gives the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/bin/variety”, line 66, in

~~~~~~~~~~~~^^
File “/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/variety/_init_.py”, line 239, in main

Do you have any solutions? Thanks.

Wondering if this is something to do with python, this is the second program I have seen people having issues with that relies on it

I cheated. I edited the file /usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/variety_lib/varietyconfig.py (the function get_data_path()). It now reads:

def get_data_path():
return “/usr/share/variety”

It is working now. I don’t know how long it will hold.
