I get the same error message when attempting to start anki 2.1.0+dfsg-1 on Ubuntu Cosmic. Since python3-distutils is now a required dependency, that is installed.
I also get the following warning, which strengthens the theory that this is related to the Qt version: "You are using Qt version 5.11.1. Anki has only been tested upstream with version Qt 5.9.x. Upstream suggests only using version Qt 5.9.x, and a standalone version containing the required libraries can be downloaded from the Anki website. Continuing with this Debian version could potentially lead to loss of data (though this is unlikely). Are you sure you want to continue?" ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #905379 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=905379 ** Also affects: anki (Debian) via https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=905379 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Changed in: anki (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Edubuntu Bugsquad, which is subscribed to anki in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1786631 Title: anki 2.1.0: fails to start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/anki/+bug/1786631/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~edubuntu-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~edubuntu-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
