Description:
Anki in [community] repo was updated to alpha release not intended for regular use. Problems I'm aware of are: 1 After upgrading I noticed that new version uses different path for profiles created by app - and in turn showing blank profile instead of recently opened profile etc. 2. Plugins won't work because 2.1.x release is written in python 3.x and most useful plugins weren't ported to 3.x yet. Only upside of having newer version is that it doesn't depend on deprecated qt-webkit. I'd like to ask whether it's possible to revert package to last stable version so people can continue to use stable version.

I had to rollback as follows:
sudo pacman -U pyqt4-common-4.12-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz \
python-pyqt4-4.12-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz \
python2-pyqt4-4.12-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz \
anki-2.0.41-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
If you want to keep the old, insecure version, you can add anki to the IgnorePkg= line in your /etc/pacman.conf file. Or you can upload the old version to AUR.
In the end I downgraded to the latest stable version, successfully imported the database originally exported via AnkiDroid and force uploaded that to AnkiWeb. Now everything is working fine again ;-)
