GIMP Resynthesizer plugin stopped working

GIMP Resynthesizer plugin stopped working, it happened suddenly, everything worked before, plugin was installed via AUR, but I doubt that this is the problem, reinstalling from source did not help.
If run GIMP through console, it gives an error Cairo

ImportError: /home/dc/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cairo/_cairo.so: undefined symbol: cairo_tee_surface_index

Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

Re: GIMP Resynthesizer plugin stopped working

you'd need to rebuild python2-cairo against the latest cairo.

Moving to AUR issues.

Problem was solved by deleting _cairo.so in home direction

rm /home/username/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cairo/_cairo.so

And creating a symlink

ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cairo/_cairo.so /home/username/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cairo/_cairo.so

Topic can be closed.

Re: GIMP Resynthesizer plugin stopped working

Any chance someone could suggest another way to fix this?

I do not have _cairo.so or even the cairo directory in my

~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Tried creating the cairo directory and symlinking a copy of _cairo.so into my home directory, but no joy.

Edit:
*sigh*
Sorry for the noise. I ended up forcing removal of of python2-cairo and did a clean rebuild and all is right in the world again.
