To the PlayOnLinux team:
I did an update of Arch Linux early this morning (yes, I was still awake!!! LOL), then went to bed. Today when I started PlayOnLinux, I wanted to install another instance of Steam to see if I can get Far Cry working. When I selected the Install tab, I found graphical errors- the letters beneath the buttons at the top of the window were cut off by the window separation line, and the buttons at the bottom of the window were cut off (if you need pictures, I can upgrade my system again and get screen shots). When I typed Steam into the search box, the letters were VERY light (so light I could barely read them). When I selected Steam, everything looked normal except for the buttons at the bottom of the screen. They were barely visible- just the very tops of the buttons were there. When I clicked OK to install Steam, the installation process began, but froze during the download. I had installed a new instance of Steam prior to my system update, so I began checking into what was causing the problem. I tried to find out what version of POL I was using, but clicking on the Help tab did not work. I downgraded POL just in case, but the same problem happened in 4.2.1. I then started PlayOnLinux using the command line, and I found errors that were constantly being repeated. They had to do with Python and GTK. I checked my Pacman cache and found two suspect files- wxgtk-3.0.0.2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz and wxpython-3.0.0.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz. I downgraded wxgtk and found that PlayOnLinux wouldn't even launch, and the command line was repeating an error that said it couldn't find Python 2.7.6. I then downgraded wxpython, and BAM, PlayOnLinux launched and everything was fine. I verified and reproduced the errors by upgrading first one package, then the other, then re-downgrading both. It looks to me that Arch upgraded to the newest versions of wxgtk and wxpython, but this is incompatible with the current version of POL. I'm reporting this information here for two reasons: first of all, to give people that use rolling distros a way to work around the issue and secondly to ask if I need to submit a bug report to your staff. If there is any information that you need, please let me know and I will get it for you as soon as I can. Thanks for your attention!!!
