Details

Starting with Version 1.3 Picard needs
python2-discid (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-discid/ (Python2/3 split package))
or python2-libdiscid (Python 3 version in AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-libdiscid/)
for Disc ID support.

An optdepends was briefly added with https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/42545, but removed again because python2-discid wasn't in the official repositories as a "fix" for https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/42587.
This is basically to keep the information from getting lost altogether ("view existing bug tickets for Picard"). Currently users missing DiscID support come to upstream (MusicBrainz) although this is a known Arch packaging problem.

The code wrapping libdiscid directly was replaced with a python-discid dependency with

I am the maintainer (upstream and AUR) of python(2)-discid.
This task depends upon
