OpenWMail error

Hi
I am using OpenWMail (1.0.0-1) as desktop email client. After recent system upgrade (Manjaro Linux), instead of launching, the program is giving following error:
Code:
 openwmail 
App threw an error during load
TypeError: app.makeSingleInstance is not a function
    at /usr/lib/openwmail/app/app/main.js:5:24

Kindly guide me to solve this issue.

OpenWMail depends upon electron. After upgrading electron to version 6.0.0-1. I am getting following error:
Code:
electron: error while loading shared libraries: libevent-2.1.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Kindly help me to solve this problem.
Regards

Ok....the error seems pretty obvious: you're missing the library mentioned. You say it's manjaro, but don't say what version. Have you installed/updated the libevent package???

Did you upgrade your whole system?
If Manjaro is anything like ArchLinux, you MUST always update the whole system.

libevent is already installed:
Code:
pacman -Ss libevent
core/libevent 2.1.11-1 [installed]
libevent was recently upgraded from 2.1.10 to 2.1.11:
Code:
[2019-08-25 14:39] [ALPM] upgraded libevent (2.1.10-1 -> 2.1.11-1)
But downgrading to 2.1.10 did not solve the problem.
Yes, Manjaro is upgraded as a whole and as it is a rolling distro, therefore, version may be meaningless.

The electron version installed is 6.0.0.1, but the latest version available is 6.0.4. But if I upgrade electron to latest version (6.0.4) then that error appears which I mentioned in my first post.

Maybe, that's why latest version of electron is not working with openwmail.
