[SOLVED] Qbittorrent 5.2.0-1 does not launch

Qbittorrent 5.2.0-1 does not launch.
There is no error message of any kind. It just quietly exits.

Downgrading to 5.1.4 works.

Found this issue.

Apparently they changed the format of their lockfile and qbittorent doesn't like the state of the lockfile when starting up then it immediately stops and doesn't start. Without giving a error.

Deleting {config dir}/qbittorent/lockfile worked for me.
