    I'm using Inkscape 0.92.4 5da689c313, 2019-01-14.

    When I'm saving an svg to an optimized svg, I get this error:

    Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed.  The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected.

    Error during optimization.

    Details:
    string index out of range

    OS version: Linux-4.14.174-1-MANJARO-x86_64-with-glibc2.2.5

    Does it happen with every file or a particular file you want to optimise?

    What settings for optimisation are you using?

    Is the error in a pop-up window?

    Can you try to use scour directly (use pip install --upgrade scour to install, then run as explained in scour --help)?

    I don't use Manjaro but you should report this to the Inkscape Manjaro Maintainer. It seems there is some dependency that is not working as it should do.

    I use Manjaro and have no problem saving as optimised SVG. It's hard to tell where the problem lies without more information.

    @jonpatterns the problem is you don't know if your system is more or less updated of the one of @Chron...
