As already mentioned in the comments, the 2.0.1 version of watson is not compatible with python-click version 8.0+.
I've tried to apply patch from PR #432, but then auto-completion didn't work. Therefore, as long as watson compatibility with python-click is broken, the best option is to pin python-click to version <8.0. This is also how watson developers did it, as well as other distributions, such as NixOS for example.
Unless there is a patch that is fully compatible with python-click 8+, an interim solution is to:
- downgrade python-click to version 7 (from Pacman cache i.e.
/var/cache/pacman/pkg/
, archive.archlinux.org, build from PKGBUILD, or use some other source) - Add python-click to
IgnorePkg
in/etc/pacman.conf

Prior to flagging the package out-of-date or reporting build errors please:
Do not expect AUR packages to trigger rebuild or suggest bumping "pkgrel" number. This is expected behaviour and the way Arch packing is designed to work.
For more information read the official documentation and man pages.
