Even after I used Welcome and updated mirrors, reboot… etc.
What’s wrong? How can this be fixed?

Well, for me this seems to be Python code, but I don’t really know what it it means. But I wonder if my guess that it is related to Calibre!

Looking at the PKGBUILD, the dependency for calibre has changed from python-cchardet to python-faust-cchardet already in calibre 6.18.0-2.

Since you had the old dependency, it needed to be replaced by the new one.
