[3dprinter-general] Bug#1132558: prusa-slicer: Claim program is outdated and refuse to start without an "update".

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package: prusa-slicer
Version: 2.9.2+dfsg-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

When starting PrusaSlicer via the menu in Debian Stable, the program is
started and showed me a dialog claiming I "must install a configuration
update" (see attached image), and only provide two options "OK" and
"Exit PricaSlicer".  When pressing "OK" it claim to be downloading stuff
from the Internet, without any explanation about what is being
downloaded or where it is saved.  This seem to make the program unusable
without a Internet connection, and I believe this Debian packages should
be able to work without Internet connectivity, allowing 3D printing
without any call home feature.  Pressing OK did some modification to
something, and the next invocation the dialog did not show up.  My
opensnitch interactive firewall did not detect any Internet
connectivity, so I am not quite sure what was done in this "update".
