The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

I’m a novice, but isn’t it strange that the package is located in AUR than a “normal” repo?!

Fixed it with

  1. removing python-pynput
  2. removing and rebuilding python-setuptools-lint
  3. rebuilding python-pynput

Welcome to the forum! :wave:

Please do not post about AUR packages in Announcement threads. While the AUR is not officially supported, users can post here in #support:aur for help.

When pasting terminal output, please use the Preformatted text </> button, not the Quote " button. I’ve fixed it for you this time. :wink:
