Error on first run activating plugin hamster about gtg HOT 4 CLOSED

I'm having the same problem too. All versions are the same, except for my kernel, which is 1 version ahead. I went into ~/.local/share/flatpak/app/org.gnome.GTG/current/active/files/lib/python3.9/site-packages/GTG/plugins/ and then deleted both the hamster.gtg-plugin file and the hamster directory (this of course disables the plugin). It does start after that, but a fix would be appreciated.

Can confirm that this work around works however the flatpak by default does not work at present without making these changes. Seems like a fairly serious problem.

At the moment I think we're not touching the flatpak until we have a new release ready (because we're too stretched and we would probably just break more things), which depends on solving #737 first; after that's done, hopefully someone shows up to maintain that plugin again in time for 0.7 (maybe @flavin if still interested?), otherwise as the plugin's code previously did not have significant development activity for over a decade and is probably woefully out of date, we could disable the hamster plugin by moving it to the "unmaintained" subfolder.
