Don’t remove something with pip if you didn’t install it with pip.
I guess all of pacman’s “warning: could not get file information”
happened because you had removed it with pip.
Anyway, it looks like the pacman re-install succeeded.
Has it solved your original problem?
Perhaps not, as we haven’t really changed anything.
Two really strange things happened, and we have no idea why:
-
In any IDE … I can’t get it to recognize that this module is actually installed.
However, … it is indeed actually there when I use the terminal. -
I tried reinstalling this module in the software center, and I was greeted with:
manjaro-system needs to be removed … - pacman needs to be removed …
EDIT:
In the post that Tomek mentioned, you might find the ‘Background info’ part is helpful.
