  • Wire client broken after update, also cannot rollback because of youtube-dl

The "Wire" messenger client does not work anymore after the last update, when starting it, the wire windows just stays white and nothing happens (it's an electron app as far as I know). Same on my coworker's Solus machine. Any ideas how to repair wire?

My plan was then to rollback the release and "roll-forward" excluding wire client for the moment, but rolling back the release does not work, because I had "youtube-dl" installed previously:

sudo eopkg history -t 630
[...]
Downloading 15 / 95
System error. Program terminated.
Repo item youtube-dl not found
Please use 'eopkg help' for general help.
Use --debug to see a traceback.

Any ideas how I could make rollback succeed? (maybe excluding youtube-dl somehow?)

Probably just easier for you to install the old wire package and file a bug on the development tracker:

sudo eopkg install https://mirrors.rit.edu/solus/packages/shannon/w/wire/wire-3.20.2934-25-1-x86_64.eopkg

Thank you, installing the old version worked fine! I'll create a bug on dev tracker.
