Anyone else seeing this?
The non-obvious solution -- Well, at least initially upfront to me and therefore the reason why I asked for help. -- turns out to be
pacman -S $(pacman -Qqo /usr/lib/python3.8/)
To query for what packages own (i.e., change the contents of) the path /usr/lib/python3.8/ (For me with a 2 day old install, this was 117 packages.) and then synchronize these packages thereby removing problem.
I also removed unneeded multilib-test repo and archfr repos by commenting them the first and deleting the second out of my pacman.conf and then executing
pacman -Suu
to synchronize enabling both upgrades and down grades. This one is a bit more unobvious to me, but this is the command the documentation tells you to do.
Thank you to those who responded graciously offering their assistance.

your pacman.conf repo-list shows atleast 2 issues that could cause big problems :
- archlinuxfr - yaourt stopped being maintained several years ago, what do you need from archlinuxfr repo ?
- You only have multilib-testing enabled and not the other testing repos, that is a very bad idea.
Check the colored box at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Of … positories
Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

I'm also seeing the same error.
I'm not using archlinuxfr nor mutlitib-testing though.

Are any of you holding back python-msgpack for some reason? Don't do that. Otherwise
python -c 'import pip._vendor.cachecontrol; print(repr(pip._vendor.cachecontrol))'
you might want to look through some things posted here: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comm … ositories/
Also general disclaimer, do not ever install pip packages system wide and doubly so if the package in question already exists as a pacman package, you will break something.

That's it! I've a private python library which I configured with python-setuptools, build a package and installed it through pacman. I had to rebuild the pacman package.
Thanks a lot.

reinstall the python-retrying package, you'll likely need to reinstall the python-progress and more, look at the /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip/_vendor/__init__.py file for hints
when something gets installed and it appears to still break, load up idle and try to import it by hand to see what secondary module is breaking the original import
aka, python-html5lib will depend on python-webencodings

yay -S $(yay -Qqo /usr/lib/python3.8/)

@V1del i'm using code markup now... markdown is a habit.
@Lone_Wolf the link you provided had guidance for disDisabling testing repositories
If you enabled testing repositories, but later on decided to disable them, you should:
Remove (comment out) them from /etc/pacman.conf
Perform a pacman -Syuu to "rollback" your updates from these repositories.
The second item is optional, but keep it in mind if you notice any problems.abling the testing repos if no longer needed... Well, I don't need them
but the
pacman -Syuu
fails with
➜ ~ sudo pacman -Syuu
[sudo] password for nemonik:

You need to comment out the entire section - the [multilib-testing] line as well.

i did.
[multilib-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
i think i read too much into the docs... the second command is in fact optional and you have to do a system update like so

i think and this looks like it will resolve things once complete.

yay -S $(yay -Qqo /usr/lib/python3.8/)
Fixed my problem too... I had yay installed.
Offline
This is ... absolutely ... f****ing absurd.
Yay is completely irrelevant in that command. That should be just the following:
pacman -S $(pacman -Qqo /usr/lib/python3.8/)
Yay just happens to be a pacman wrapper, so that is precisely what it does when you enter the yay command. If you do not understand this - and if even for a split second you thought 'yay' might actually be needed to follow that solution - then stop using yay immediately.

@Trilby I am two days into Arch after getting it installed with a dual boot with win 10 and grub. Just two days. The gist of your message makes complete sense on reflection, but your delivery on a newbie forum is lacking.

If you have stopped using yay (or any aur helper for now), then consider the discomfort stemming from my delivery like the discomfort of being forcefully and abruptly shoved out of the way of oncoming traffic.

You didn't post in Newbie Corner. You posted in the pacman forum, which is the Arch package manager.

I see, that makes your delivery okay then. Again, you have taught me something. Tip of the hat to you dear sir.

Thanks, I was very much saved by "pacman -Qqo /usr/lib/python3.7/ | yay -S -" from that thread. I had a very cranky Python and problems in several packages. Almost daily installation problems.
