Description

Every time Keybase starts it launches a dialogue box asking me to install a new helper.
The install fails every time.
Reinstalling Keybase doesn't resolve the issue
Keybase GUI Version: 2.6.2-20180920205546+0f17a92adc

Research direction

The report concerns Keybase GUI version 2.6.2 and a helper-install dialog that appears at startup and fails every time. Start by reproducing the startup flow and recording the environment and helper-install error; done means the dialog no longer repeatedly appears after a successful or correctly handled installation.
