I get this message whenever I try to start the service now:

Could this be because it was built against something from the regular repos (it's not in the v3 repos here) and the new v3 packages broke it somehow?

In the mean-time, I'm using shiny-mirrors from the AUR; it's written in Rust, so it's pretty reliable :p

I coicindentally found out about it after having this issue

The python 3.10 rebuild just dropped. Please inform yourself on the package status page before you open an issue.
If there is a huge rebuild going on, either refrain from updating until its done or at least refrain from opening an issue each time.

Nope the python in ALHP need a rebuild, got some problem with meson and other program that use python, and changing to the official repo of archlinux fixed it

Please have a little patience, the python 3.10 rebuild affected >1000 packages, they are not build in one hour. Not even python itself is build yet.

@Neko-san can you confirm its working now?
