After installing the backup software “Borg” from the official repository, and then invoking “Borg”, I get this message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/borg", line 5, in <module>
from borg.archiver import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'borg'
If I’m understanding this correctly, this build seems to be missing the “borg” module in python. Is anyone else seeing this error, and what can I do about it?
I’ve been using Manjaro for I think about a year now, and this is the first time I’ve gotten a message like this from the official repository. Also, this seems to be one of the few times when there don’t seem to be any good AUR alternatives (different and/or beta versions).

Python has changed from 3.13 to 3.14 and all python packages has been rebuild upstream.
I have tested borg on my system, where it work as expected, so I am thinking your system is not fully up-to-date.
Please use an up-to-date mirror and run a full system sync.
