Description

After update to pgcli 2.1.0-3 from AUR it doesn’t start anymore giving the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 583, in _build_master
    ws.require(__requires__)

@Zebradil Sure, you’re welcome to submit a PR to upgrade pgcli to psycopg2>=2.8. You may want to look at some related issues that talk about binary vs source package:

Personally for me it’s not a problem or blocker (I’ve already downgraded it globally, because I use venvs for projects anyways). I just thought that it’d be nice for other users of pgcli to end up in this page and find the solution if they face the same issue.
