[SOLVED] pencil cannot run after system update

[thewaywest]

Found the solution, and it was an easy one. The application.ini file is coded to FFX 42.0; I was able to simply edit in place and all's well. whew

$ vi /usr/share/pencil/application.ini

[App]
Name=Pencil
Version=2.0.15.20151201
BuildID=20151201
Copyright=Copyright (c) 2015 Pavan Rikhi. Base on code copyright 2009-2013 Evolus.
ID=pencil@evolus.vn

[Gecko]
MinVersion=36.0
MaxVersion=43.*

---

I installed despite "package problem" noted in another ticket, and have been very happy with the PDF and other export fixes you've got in place. 85% through a product design process, and system updates came down. Not Pencil simply doesn't launch.

I tried running from the command line, and got the following:

$ pencil
Error: Platform version '43.0' is not compatible with
minVersion >= 36.0
maxVersion <= 42.*

Tried removing and reinstalling just to make sure there wasn't some dependency overwritten, no luck. Appears as though Firefox bumped up to 43.0, and that must be what is referred to here. Is there a quick local fix on this, something in config or elsewhere?

Thanks so much -- under the gun!!
