Additional context

I recently nuked pip and everything installed with pip

Did you install hyfetch using pip? Did you have wheel installed before running pip install hyfetch?

Also if you can show me a log or screeshot of the pip install output that would help (to tell which wheel it tried to install)

[ImxTreme21]

In my history there is pip install -U hyfetch, also I have it installed from the AUR which is kinda strange because I would have the same package from two sources (my brain is exploding).

Wheel version is 0.45.0

Idk how to get the log

Just uninstalled hyfetch and reinstalled it with pacman, issue still persists

can repro - also doesn't detect the installed rustup and cargo on my system 🥴

[hykilpikonna]

I'm so confused, the rust version of hyfetch isn't even officially released yet, and it certainly isn't in the ArchLinux repo yet.

To install this version you would have to specifically run pip install hyfetch==2.0.0rc1 because pip would not install beta versions by default...

Honestly idk how this could happen, and I don't see this on my arch system or a fresh arch docker.

Just tested this again, on a brand new docker ArchLinux image, installing hyfetch through pacman will give us the 1.99.0 python stable release that doesn't complain about missing rust binary:

And installing hyfetch==2.0.0rc1 through pip will give us the 2.0.0 beta release written in rust, which also runs fine because the rust binary is installed with it:

I honestly have no clue on where you all installed it from that could lead to this issue 😭

wait...uninstalled and reinstalled, might've been on the aur-git repo? which is weird, I remember telling yay to install the pacman repos 😔 not having this problem anymore xD

yea oops the aur git repo hasn't been updated and might be broken. idk who is currently maintaining it...

maybe I can fix it later

Hi, yes I had the hyfetch-git AUR package, I reinstalled the regular package and the issue was fixed. lol
