If you installed ProtonUp-Qt via Flatpak (Discover on Steam Deck), type:
flatpak run net.davidotek.pupgui2

If you have downloaded the AppImage, navigate to the folder containing the AppImage file and type:
./ProtonUp-Qt*.AppImage

AUR package issues should be reported to the AUR package maintainer. There are two so I am unsure which one you used.

The issue you are facing is because of a missing Python package. People have had issues with other missing Python packages, some of the comments on that issue should help you already I think. The prevailing fix seems to be to uninstall and then reinstall with a clean build using an AUR helper, which sounds reasonable.

As noted in #349 (comment), the AUR package is maintained separately and issues like this should be reported to those package maintainers.

Alternatively, you can use the official AppImage or Flatpak release of ProtonUp-Qt.

Ah, didn't think to check the AUR comments. Thanks for the link. Did a clean build instead of just yay -R and reinstalling. Good to go now.
