Issues with ProtonVPN CLI after updating keyring and system

[erw1]

I just updated keyring and system as per solution to this post. This time, flawless. I’ve installed protonvpn-cli (official) using paru but get python related errors trying to connect. This had worked fine in the past. I tried the community version as well but get unwarranted authentication errors. Any leads?

$ protonvpn-cli c
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 563, in from_name
    return next(cls.discover(name=name))
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
StopIteration

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

$ paru -R protonvpn-cli
$ pipenv install protonvpn-cli
$ pipenv shell
$ sudo ~/.local/share/virtualenvs/[path]/bin/protonvpn init
$ sudo ~/.local/share/virtualenvs/[path]/bin/protonvpn c

This starts a package but I fall back on the same error as that I got with paru’s community version. That could be incidental to the question at hand, but there would also be a connection. I did verify my uname/pwd.

ProtonVPN uses two different sets of credentials, one for the website and official apps where the
username is most likely your e-mail, and one for connecting to the VPN servers.

You can find the OpenVPN credentials at https://account.protonvpn.com/account.
