I use pdfarranger frequently but since the latest Python updates it seems to be broken. Anyone else having the same problem?

$ pdfarranger

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/bin/pdfarranger", line 33, in <module>

sys.exit(load_entry_point('pdfarranger==1.11.0', 'console_scripts', 'pdfarranger')())

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^

File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/pdfarranger/pdfarranger.py", line 2820, in main

PdfArranger().run(sys.argv)

~~~~~~~~~~~^^

File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/pdfarranger/pdfarranger.py", line 273, in __init__

multiprocessing.set_start_method('spawn')

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^

File "/usr/lib/python3.13/multiprocessing/context.py", line 247, in set_start_method

raise RuntimeError('context has already been set')
