Hi,

on arch linux anki crashes when “de,bg(phonetic)” is set as keyboard layout.

$ setxkbmap “de,bg(phonetic)”  
$ anki  
Python module pip\_system\_certs is not installed. System certificate store and custom SSL certificates may not work. See:  
Starting Anki 25.02…

I am able to work around this, but it probably warrants a fix.

Cheers,
