[Solved] playonlinux fail launching since wxwidgets-gtk3 update

Like i do each week, i updated my system with archive.archlinux.org. Today i updated from 2022-07-14 to 2022-07-21. I followed the news "wxWidgets 3.2 update may need manual intervention", so i remove wxgtk2, and i get wxwidgets-gtk3 3.2 after the system update.

But now, playonlinux fail to launch:

[guigui@guigui-ordi ~]$ playonlinux
Looking for python... 3.10.5 - skipped
Looking for python2.7... 2.7.18 - wxversion(s): 3.0-gtk3

Please install python before trying to run this program
[guigui@guigui-ordi ~]$ 

In /usr/lib/ i have libwx 3.2 libraries, but no 3.0.

What can i do?

Thanks!

Edit: perhaps there is a hint in this line?:
Looking for python2.7... 2.7.18 - wxversion(s): 3.0-gtk3
...

Re: [Solved] playonlinux fail launching since wxwidgets-gtk3 update

playonlinux is an AUR package. You need to rebuild it after the wxwidgets update.

Moving to AUR issues.

Of course! I'm stupid; i didn't realize playonlinux moved to AUR. Thank you!
