Hello @jimsjoh, you need to install python-lxml package

thanks, solved the issue for me.
Is a new dependency? Not sure if it was installed from before, but never removed it manually at least.

How can i install the python-lxml3 package on Arch?

6

in a terminal type:
sudo pacman -S python-lxml

The Arch community package is currently broken for various different reasons. The maintainer isn’t paying any attention at all to upstream. For now, I strongly suggest using the lutris-git AUR (Arch User Repository) package. I’m the maintainer, by the way.

Thank you!

Does this apply to Arch-based distro’s such as Manjaro?

Probably. Lutris team contacted Arch packages maintainer, it should be soon resolved.

Manjaro is still currently using lutris-0.5.8.1-1 package revision, which would be the same as Arch’s at the time. Arch is now at 0.5.8.3-2 package revision, incremented due to “add missing python-lxml dependency”

I use Manjaro, but mine is heavily gutted and customized and I build a lot of my own packages. I have lutris in my IgnorePkg list now and I roll my own using Arch’s PKGBUILD so I have been using lutris 0.5.8.3. Some annoyances have been fixed since 0.5.8.1
