spyder installed via pacman does not start, seems to be saying decorator<5 needed. I could not find any missing dependency. Looks like I have to wait for system update. Or does anyone have other ideas?
says decorator, whatever that is, version is too high.
Here is the output when starting spyder:

This is already known,
As I have just recently helped debugging a friends machine running Manjaro, and this error occurring said distro and but works for me on arch, I want to remind you.

For me it does still not work on real Arch, how did you get it to work?

I "fixed" it by recompiling python-spyder-kernels with the versioned dependency removed, see diff for more.
I say "fixed" because spyder would start but then hang afterwards. As this was on Manjaro there is no guarantee for the outcome on Arch.
But this was apparently fixed by upstream, and the new workaround still is to rebuild said package and install python-flit-core.
All this is described in greater detail in the comment section of the bug report.
PS: Thanks to you I now know why it worked on my machine, and for my user only.
I had an old version of decorator installed (with pip as my user) and consequently spyder used that one instead of the system version.
As a instable workaround you can install an old version (4.4.2 was the one I had installed) by
pip install --user decorator==4.4.2
but remember this shadows the system version and can lead to other problems. See user install for more.
So If you do that remove it afterwards when the package is fixed in Arch.
Edit: added "workaround"
