Steam and Add/Remove Software won’t launch

after updating my steam or add/remove software won’t launch

this is the list of packages that have flies in /usr/lib/python3.10/ :

protonvpn-cli
protonvpn-gui
python-pep517
python-progress
python-proton-client
python-protonvpn-nm-lib

and when trying to rebuilt them I get this error.

Error: target not found: python-pep517

Remove python-pep517 first, it’s no longer in the repos.

I removed that package but still my steam or add/remove software won’t launch

None of the Python packages you listed are related to Steam and Add/Remove Software (aka Pamac).

Are there any errors running the following from the terminal?

pamac-manager

installing

gsettings-desktop-schemas

fixed pamac manager and doing a reset on steam steam --reset fixed that issue, I guess updating corrupted my installation of steam?
