Thank you folks, finally figured it out with your help.
I think the problem is that I was removing packages through pacman
but installing them through paru
-- meaning that the paru
cache wasn't getting cleaned out. Make sure you run paru -Sc
(or sim. for your AUR wrapper of choice) to clear the AUR cache as well.

@shoryuken thank you, that worked!
@ali.molaei I'm not sure of technicalities of dependencies, but if you cannot force
network-manager-applet
as a dependency I think you should at least pin some comment explaining that getting it might fix issues. As it stands I accidentally found the solution at other package page https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/protonvpn-cli#comment-951908, and only since it's the newest one.
