It was changed in Oct, and it allows the build to work even if the user’s distro uses an older or newer Python version. Python links to libcrypt by default. Libcrypt was traditionally distributed with glibc, but they decided to split it off, and this has broken a bunch of stuff that assume it will be available. Presumably arch has some compat package you can install for now, and I will see if I can exclude it from the binary when I have a chance.
