Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/738

When I run archivebox init, I get a ValueError.

Describe the bug

I installed archivebox via pacman.
I expected it to give some output about confirming archivebox was initialized cerrectly or something, but I just got a ValueError.

Screenshots or log output

Thanks.
After installing croniter, ipython and upgrading python-crontab which I got told as being required too, it finished initializing.
Wow. That reply was fast. When I remember of my experiences with a FetchCord Issue...
Now it works.
Thanks.
