@carlosal1015 thank you for reporting. Could you be a bit more specific about what the problem is. I'm not very familiar with Arch packaging and don't see what the error is.

I just downloaded the sdist from pypi, and was able to install into a new conda environment just fine:

❯ python -m pip install --no-deps .

This on macOS 12.2, but given that pooch only has pyproject.toml and setup.cfg, I fail to see how there's anything that pooch could be doing wrong here. There's no code, only build metadata.

Thanks @leouieda @dopplershift , this is what is going on https://asciinema.org/a/473256

Is not an upstream issue, the packager is not following the Python Packing Guidelines, i.e. using pip and installing in home user, I will report now in downstream.

@carlosal1015 good to know! Thank you for the feedback and explanation.

You both are welcome.
