[SOLVED] Problem after upgrade to Anki 2.0.4-1

Hiya,

Today pacman upgraded anki from 2.0.3-1 to 2.0.4-1, which seems to have broken anki.

When try to run Anki, I get a message saying

Please build and install the PortAudio Python bindings first.

(which I got before, when Anki worked correctly) and a popup saying

Error during startup:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/anki/aqt/main.py", line 42, in __init__
    self.setupAddons()
  File "/usr/share/anki/aqt/main.py", line 500, in setupAddons
    import aqt.addons
  File "/usr/share/anki/aqt/addons.py", line 13 in <module>
    from aqt.downloader import download
  File "/usr/share/anki/aqt/downloader.py", line 7, in <module>
    from anki.sync import httpCon
  File "/usr/share/anki/anki/sync.py", line 22, in <module>
    _proxy_info_from_environment =
httplib2.ProxyInfo.from_environment
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ProxyInfo'

EDIT: Sorry, should I have made a bug report for this instead? I'll file one now.

Regards,

Have you tried installing https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-pyaudio/ or https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-pyaudio/ ?

I confirm this is a bug. It has nothing to do with pyaudio. It seems there is some problem with sync.py. The problematic code quoted in the error messages runs without problem independently but fails when called by anki. We probably should file the bug in anki.

In the meantime, a dirty fix is to comment out the following to lines
  from anki.sync import httpCon
  import aqt.sync # monkey-patches httplib2
in /usr/share/anki/aqt/downloader.py.

After this, anki is usable but the sync function will be temporarily disabled.

Same here. Using your workaround anki starts.

I reported the bug yesterday: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33340

I don't know what the procedure is, but I assume that an upstream bug will be opened if necessary...

python-pyaudio doesn't fix the problem, as already noted - and the message had appeared without an error in the previous version.

Turns out to be a packaging bug.  If you chmod /usr/share/anki/thirdparty/httplib2 to 644 instead of 640 it works again.  Should be fixed in the next release.

As Hwesta said, fixed in Anki 2.0.4-2.
