I seem to be having a different issue than what others are describing. Suddenly today, I an unable to start the launcher without getting a generic "An unexpected issue occurred" message. Here's what I get in the terminal:

$ minecraft-launcher
sh: line 1: orca: command not found
Created browser window for reuse: 0x1600004
[34399:34552:0308/133050.212343:ERROR:mime_util_xdg.cc(137)] Invalid mime.cache file does not contain null prior to ALIAS_LIST_OFFSET=44
[34399:34552:0308/133055.416488:ERROR:cast_crl.cc(443)] CRL - Verification failed.

Edit: I found that deleting the webcache2 directory in the .minecraft directory fixes the issue for me.

The package version is the version of the launcher bootstrap - the part that actually downloads and updates the launcher.

That means the version number of the actual launcher (2.x.xxx) is different from the version here (9xx+) on a fundamental level, and should not be compared.

The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

The new url for the launcher is https://launcher.mojang.com/mc-staging/download/Minecraft_staging.tar.gz

./launcher error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Installing gconf solved this problem and resulted, for me, in a working launcher.o Maybe add gconf to the dependencies list.

You're not actually using that MC_VERSION_URL variable in /usr/bin/minecraft. :)

Ok pushed a new version that should fix things, expect a launcher download. Also added a MC_FORCE_UPDATE environment variable that can be set to force a launcher update (but shouldn't be necessary).

For some weird reason if we use the launcher directly from the .minecraft folder it will never update. I'm adding a small mechanism to automatically redownload the launcher when the game itself gets updated and will push it soon. In the meantime run "exec java -jar /usr/share/minecraft/Minecraft.jar" manually to force an update

Can't start with client version 1.11.2. Gives following error: [16:16:21 ERROR]: An update to your launcher is available and is required to play 1.11.2. Please restart your launcher. Flagged package as out-of-date :-)

@s123 This is only the launcher... when you run it, the launcher will download the version you want to use.

Will the recent version be available? I want to play singleplayer maps, few of them require at least 1.7.7 and one 1.10.4...
