Operating system: Archlinux (CachyOS) -> installed from the AUR -> electrum-ltc (4.2.2.1-5)
Hello,
Electrum-ltc can be installed, but then does not start.
When I try it via the console, the following message appears:
❯ electrum-ltc
E | daemon.Daemon | GUI raised exception: ModuleNotFoundError("No module named 'distutils'"). shutting down.
E | __main__ | daemon.run_gui errored
Traceback (most recent call last):

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils'
Unfortunately, I can't do anything with it!
Even if I enter one or two terms from the error message into the search engine, it hasn't helped me so far.
Somewhere, but I think it was in an Ubuntu forum, I read that it has something to do with two different versions of Python and with the fact that Electrum (BTC) is installed in parallel, which is also the case for me. Electrum (BTC) is still running, though.
Is there a Linux specialist here who can do something with this error message?
Another problem: To get around the problem, I downloaded the Appimage version of electrum-ltc and integrated it into the system using the Appimagelauncher.
Result:
Electrum-ltc only starts the first time, then no longer!
So there's a problem there too!
