If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with protoc >= 3.19.0.
If you cannot immediately regenerate your protos, some other possible workarounds are:
 1. Downgrade the protobuf package to 3.20.x or lower.
 2. Set PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python (but this will use pure-Python parsing and will be much slower).

You should probably take that up with the aur package maintainer, could you post the output while installing through pacman or yay.

I'll move the issue to the AUR comments. Also running the windows exe through Wine works barely well enough to suit my needs.
