gourmet won't start in 10.10

[brashley46]

Just upgraded to 10.10 and now gourmet won't start. Running in terminal gives:

What can be done about this?

[brashley46]

I uninstalled it, went to Sourceforge and downloaded and installed the gourmet_0.15.6-2_all.deb package - it works.

Looks like a critical bug nobody noticed. I filed a bug report here:

Thanks! I did not know enough about the code to do that. I'll stick with my downloaded version until the repositories catch up.

Yeah, this is happening to me too. Frustration combined with some relief that it was not me who did something wrong.

As I said, though, the Sourceforge download version works just fine. So go thou and get unfrustrated. (Wanna recipe for blueberry clafouti?)

It's the same TypeError when using griffith for searching my movie database. So I think it has something to do with sqlalchemy. I found some threads on the internet:

But they have no other solutions...

Not for me =(. would definitely like a solution here. I am regretting not using 'cookbooks' right now...

Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/grec...l.deb/download and download the latest version, works for me; or wait for the Ubuntu repository to be updated per this thread: bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gourmet/+bug/618643

Fedora had the same difficulty with the release of Fedora 14. It's a compatibility problem with the gourmet software itself. U-10.10 has libraries the current version of gourmet was not designed for. It doesn't mean gourmet is a bad app. It just means Ubuntu is only offering an older version that doesn't work with the new libraries. The way to fix it is to get a more recent release. Use the version at sourceforge. The repositories will eventually catch up.

Here's a direct link:
