After performing an update using the Pamac package manager for Manjaro Linux, I’m unable to launch Gramps.
From the command terminal, I get the following error message:
$ gramps
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/gramps", line 2, in <module>
import gramps.grampsapp as app
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gramps'
OS: Linux Manjaro
Gramps: 5.2.2-1
I have no easy answer, because I don’t use Manjaro, and have no idea who made the package for that. I did notice that Manjaro is based on Arch Linux, and I think that @Nick-Hall uses that too.
You can also check our own wiki page for references, and on that, you can also find more information for Arch:

Yes, I run Arch Linux. I’ll give Manjaro I try. Which flavour should I download?
@naesk can you tell what version of Manjaro you’re running?
Thanks all for the replies.
A few other apps also appeared not to work. Then a system update appeared shortly thereafter. After this system update was performed all seem to be working. 
Nice. I just did a clean install on a new partition, next to my Linux Mint, and on that, Gramps 5.2.2 worked right away.
I tried Manjaro Gnome minimal in a virtual machine. Gramps installed easily using the GUI pamac. It ran without problems from the command line and by clicking on the icon.
The only problem I noticed was that they still list gtkspell as an optional package instead of the new gspell dependency. This is also the case for Arch linux. The gspell package was already installed though, but I got a few warnings because the enchant backends were missing.
From my brief look at Manjaro, I quite liked it. The window for new users was useful - maybe we could do something similar for Gramps. I also liked the package manager - I was aiming for something as simple and easy to use when I wrote the Gramps Addon Manager.
