protontricks and protontricks-git crashing

Hello,
I just installed protontricks-git and protontricks afterwards but none of them works and crash. The error messages are similar, but now I have only the output of protontricks:

File "/usr/bin/protontricks", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('protontricks==1.6.2', 'console_scripts', 'protontricks')())
  File "/usr/bin/protontricks", line 25, in importlib_load_entry_point
    return next(matches).load()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 162, in load
    module = import_module(match.group('module'))

    from .steam import *
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/protontricks/steam.py", line 9, in <module>
    import vdf
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'vdf'

I checked and I have all dependencies installed.

I don't know about the git version, but for protontricks package using "pip3 install vdf" fixed the issue and now protontricks started fine

Don't do that. Don't mix package managers, you need to rebuild the python-vdf package against the current python version.
