Cannot start goes16-background under Python 3.12 on any Linux distro

[manjaroer]

I use goes16-background on KDE Plasma 5 and 6. Both X11 and Wayland. Manjaro, EndeavourOS, Debian 12 Testing - all has this issue. MX-Linux, Debian 12 Stable - no problems. When I start the script

goes16-background

It returns the following:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/goes16-background", line 33, in sys.exit(load_entry_point('goes16-background==1.2.0', 'console_scripts', 'goes16-background')()) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/bin/goes16-background", line 25, in importlib_load_entry_point return next(matches).load() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.12/importlib/metadata/init.py", line 205, in load module = import_module(match.group('module')) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.12/importlib/init.py", line 90, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "", line 1387, in _gcd_import File "", line 1360, in _find_and_load File "", line 1331, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "", line 935, in _load_unlocked File "", line 995, in exec_module File "", line 488, in _call_with_frames_removed File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/goes16background/main.py", line 22, in import appdirs ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'appdirs'

After installing goes16-background-git via Arch Aur

And that's all. No way to start the script. I still can start it with Python 3.11.2 in MX-Linux or Debian 12 Stable.

The second issue is the Pillow has changed and no way to compose Earth over the background image.

Please, help to update this beautiful script! Don't drop it!

I don't know why the font of the error is bold and large.
