This worked for me (needed to install paru first):
pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.9 | paru -S - --rebuild
Neither pacman nor pamac seem to know what paru is.
How do I get one and what is it?
pamac build paru
Ok, Seriously, none of this is working, WHAT is the solution to this?
I ran that pacman command
pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.9 | paru -S - --rebuild
and it does this, what it is suppose to do? Its just stays stuck here:

Make sure you are fully up to date:
sudo pacman -Syu
Double check rebuilds against repos:
sudo pacman -S $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.9)
Rebuild AUR packages relying on old python (I guess you have paru installed?):
paru -S $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.9)
Or, with pamac, the same:
pamac build $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.9)
Hello,
I encounter the same issue (and I don’t have paru installed so I was unable to test some of the solutions).
I posted on this closed issue thread, I hope someone will be able to help…
Why with these somewhat-unrelated posts?
If you dont have paru, then install it or dont use it.
It is one of many AUR helpers. By default Manjaro already has one - pamac
.
Please see my post above and/or the wiki:
https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Main_Page#Software_Management
Little bit offtopic but while you try to get protonvpn working
you can use windscribe
vpn
It doesnt have a GUI like proton vpn but it just works and it is much faster than protonvpn
pamac install windscribe-cli
sudo systemctl enable windscribe
#following commands have to be executed everytime you want to connect
sudo systemctl start windscribe
windscribe connect
But its a different service provider and application … that isnt really applicable, and borders on ‘product recommendation’.
Well I still don’t know what a paru is and I needed a rustup apparently and well this what I get…
Cannot reproduce, at least not if I do it the proper way as outlined above, and I dont care enough to try any other way when it seems obvious everything works when operated correctly.
Not unrelated: I have the same issue as the main one of this topic: protonvpn-cli
, installed through AUR, just stopped working. I now try to get it working and none of the solutions that I was able to try works:
pamac: sudo pacman -S $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.9)
raises these errors (sorry, it’s in French: translate roughly as “error: impossible to find the target: X”)
erreur : impossible de trouver la cible : python-configparser
erreur : impossible de trouver la cible : python-proton-client
paru: you propose (among other) to use paru, that I don’t know. If it’s just an AUR helper, then indeed pamac should do the job just fine. I just mention in my post that I did not test that part of your solution.
The problem seems to be on protonvpn-cli or on the AUR script side. Someone managed to solve it in the git thread posted (using yay, which from what I understand is a AUR helper - the default Arch Linux one?), but I can’t reproduce it with pamac.
That is pacman not pamac, and of course it throws those errors, because it only interacts with the repos, not the AUR.
No I dont, it was just suggested higher up, so I kept the commands in-line with that.
You still did not use pamac, and I assume you never installed paru.
Again, this is unrelated because it is simply not understanding packaging, not an issue with protonvpn.
I have installed it above, and again after your posts, to confirm.
( I also suggested, and wrote out, the only true way of installing an AUR package, to assuage any doubt)
From comments on the AUR page. I don’t use protonVPN and don’t care to try…

I fixed my issue by following https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-cli/issues/57#issuecomment-994694954https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-cli/issues/57#issuecomment-994694954
yay -Rs protonvpn
rm -rf ~/.cache/protonvpn
And then reinstalling protonvpn using pamac (Manjaro user here).
~~~
my bad for the confusion pacman/pamac, and I read your post as a “1. check that system is fully up to that 2. double check against repo (3 commands proposed)”. I did run the last command involving pamac (pamac build $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.9)
) and it now works!
Thank you very much for taking the time to explain this
Slightly off topic, I’m not sure to understand the underlying problem here. I also use protonvpn-cli on another computer that runs Fedora. It is installed through RPM and updated through dnf
. Both computers use Python 3.10.1 and ProtonVPN CLI 3.11.0 (and the same packages versions), and on Fedora the update went without a hitch. What is the difference? Is is related to the job done by the AUR script vs the dnf update? Or does dnf rely on pre-compiled binaries? I’m interested by any explanation on this topic.
Well, RPM packages are build in RPM format which Fedora is using. Therefore, correct, the whole build process written in the RPM scripts differ from the Arch packages which Manjaro is using.
Also these RPM packages are maintained by Fedora or some other community and AUR is a user repository where the packages are maintained by the user him/herself, so if something changed in the newer kernel or in any distro update, which affects your installed software, then you either need to wait for this particular user to fix the issue in the software or you may fix it by yourself.
Correct me if I’m wrong @cscs
Were you able to resolve the issue on your end by now?
Here was a possible solution which you may also try: Proton vpn stopped working - #34 by jrichard326
To answer your questions.
How to remove orphans in UI:
How to find packages on AUR (if you yet not did that already)
Thanks for trying, but I decided to simply install protonVPN on my cell phone then USB tether to the internet thru that and it’s working so I’m OK for now
