The firewalld package prior to version 0.8.1-2 was missing the compiled python modules. This has been fixed in 0.8.1-2, so the upgrade will need to overwrite the untracked pyc files created. If you get errors like these

firewalld: /usr/lib/python3.8/site- packages/firewall/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-38.pyc exists in filesystem firewalld: /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/firewall/__pycache__/client.cpython- 38.pyc exists in filesystem firewalld: /usr/lib/python3.8/site- packages/firewall/__pycache__/dbus_utils.cpython-38.pyc exists in filesystem ...many more...

when updating, use

pacman -Suy --overwrite /usr/lib/python3.8/site- packages/firewall/\*

to perform the upgrade.

+1, thanks for taking care of this. Cheers, -- Maxime
