Hello,

I've recently installed Blink on a new Linux Mint system.  I get the
following error when I try to run it:

$ blink
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/blink", line 67, in <module>
     from blink import Blink
   File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/blink/__init__.py", line 34, in
<module>
     from blink.chatwindow import ChatWindow
   File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/blink/chatwindow.py", line 48,
in <module>
     from sipsimple.streams.msrp.chat import OTRState
ImportError: cannot import name 'OTRState' from
'sipsimple.streams.msrp.chat'
(/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sipsimple/streams/msrp/chat.py)

This is Blink version 6 on Linux Mint 21.3.

$ apt-cache policy blink | sed -n '1,3p'
blink:
   Installed: 6.0.1jammy
   Candidate: 6.0.1jammy

$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Linux Mint 21.3
Release:	21.3

$ uname -srm
Linux 5.15.0-131-generic x86_64

$ python3 --version
Python 3.10.12

Have I missed anything needed to finish the installation? \

/Lars
