LottaNZB doesn't start

[chip007]

lottanzb 0.4.1 works fine on my gentoo / KDE box. I installed it from the portage overlay.
Bu the upgrade to 0.4.96 doesn't work. When I try to start lottanzb I get the following error message
"Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/lottanzb", line 3, in <module>
    from lottanzb.core import App
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/lottanzb/core.py", line 71, in <module>

    log.debug("Could not load the user-dirs.dirs file.")

There is an error message while installing, too: (just the last part)

"Could not call ['scrollkeeper-update', '-q', '-o', '/usr/share/omf'].

Hi chip007,

thanks alot for reporting this bug! I just commited a fix that will be part of the final version of 0.5.

Until LottaNZB 0.5 is released, you can work around the bug by creating a empty file "user-dirs.dirs" in the hidden directory ".config" in your home directory.

Thanks again!

Regards,
Severin

The warning that appears during the installation is normal and doesn't indicate any problems. I'll still try to get rid of it.
