borg create results in error due to msgpack-python

Running borg 1.1.7-1 to create a backup (--create) results in following error, the same for pruning.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/borg", line 6, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3112, in <module>
    @_call_aside
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3096, in _call_aside

    working_set = WorkingSet._build_master()

    ws.require(__requires__)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 895, in require
    needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements))
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 781, in resolve
    raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'msgpack-python!=0.5.0,!=0.5.1,!=0.5.2,!=0.5.3,!=0.5.4,!=0.5.5,<=0.5.6,>=0.4.6' distribution was not found and is required by borgbackup

With borg 1.1.6-3 there are no problems.

msgpack-python:

pacman -Ss msgpack | grep python
community/python-msgpack 0.5.6-2 [Installiert]
    MessagePack serializer implementation for Python

There is no valid version of python-msgpack in pacman cache, so I think it's a bug in the new borg version or a missing update of msgpack-python.
