[SOLVED] Anki won't start

I remember it worked last week. 

$ anki
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/anki", line 3, in <module>
    import aqt
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/aqt/__init__.py", line 15, in <module>
    import anki.buildinfo
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/anki/__init__.py", line 7, in <module>
    from anki.collection import Collection

    import anki.find

    from anki.models import NoteType, Template

    import anki.backend_pb2 as pb
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/anki/backend_pb2.py", line 15, in <module>
    import anki.fluent_pb2 as fluent__pb2
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/anki/fluent_pb2.py", line 22, in <module>
    create_key=_descriptor._internal_create_key,
AttributeError: module 'google.protobuf.descriptor' has no attribute '_internal_create_key

Anyone has any idea?

Re: [SOLVED] Anki won't start

I am not familiar with this issue myself but I made a quick search and I found this stack overflow answer.

From the error you posted it shows you have some issue with a google.protobuf.descriptor python module missing an attribute. Hope this helps.

Re: [SOLVED] Anki won't start

Thx for the suggestion. 
For now, I just downgraded Anki to version 2.1.26-1. 
Perhaps it will be fixed for current Anki when python-protobuf package is updated.
