Can't run any installed plugin after update - wx Error

External Plugins
1

Hi there,

yesterday I updated the packages of my debian system and now I can’t run any of my PCBNew plugins (replicate layout, interactive html bom, etc.). They have in common that they want to draw a wxGUI element, which fails with the following error message: “wx._core.PyNoAppError: The wx.App object must be created first!”
It smells like an incompatibility between my wx version and whatever else…

My system setup as described in the replicate_layout.log output:

Any help is much appreciated!

Ok, I found the reason, although I updated the system with apt upgrade , there was still an update for KiCAD 6.0.7 available in the package repository with apt dist-upgrade. After installation of 6.0.7, everything works as expected.
Sorry for the interruption :wink: This thread can be closed
