[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I agree with Eli Zaretskii,
 after some further investigation I've narrowed it down to an issue with
the arch packaging that does not exist in other non arch-based
distributions. I reported the issue in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/68499,
and I hope this will be resolved by the package maintainer.
Again sorry for wasting your time and thank you both for the swift
responses.
