Weird errors for maestral and syncthing-gtk not finding packages

I've resolved this problem, but am curious if anyone can shed any ideas on what might have caused this.

I recently upgraded my system, using Yay, with the usual `yay -Syy` and then a `yay -Syu`.

Everything completed okay, with the exception of maestral and maestral-qt, which were failing with an error about "No module named 'Pyro5'".

I checked that the package was installed with `yay -Qs pyro5` and the package was installed and wasn't reporting any issues.

Around this time I also noticed that syncthing-gtk wasn't running. When I attempted to run it via the shell, I saw it reporting a similar error about  "No module named syncthing-gtk".

Having been unable to find anything amiss, I resorted to reinstalling python-pyro5 and syncthing-gtk, which resolved the issue.

What I really don't understand, is if there was anything wrong with those packages, why wasn't Yay or Pacman reporting anything?

You needed to rebuild the packages installed on your system that use python that are not from the official repositories for the python12 update.

Ahh, so that also applies to packages from the AUR then?

Thanks for the clarification. Still in disbelief that I hadn't encountered this before in 10+ years of using Arch. ?

Sorry to revive this old thread, but I believe this just happened again. I was able to rebuild syncthing-gtk to get it working, but there are probably more packages python in my system with this same issue, and I won't notice until I need them. Is there any way to query all such packages (ig all python packages?) so that I can solve all those problems at once before they give more headaches?

Good question , https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System … l_packages should be helpful .

Thanks for the report, closing the thread now.
