When starting spyder, I get a message saying that the "nbconvert" dependency is missing.

I see that the package "jupyter-nbconvert" is an indirect dependency of spyder, but that package seems to be for Python 3. I can't find a Python 2 version of it in the repositories.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Hidden the warning in spyder 3.1.4-1 and moved the dependency to optional

By the way, the "ipython2-notebook" package doesn't seem to be needed. I think it can be removed from the dependency list (and from the repositories).

Exact errors, please

Don't know what this will add, but sure:

"You have missing dependencies!
nbconvert >=4.0: None (NOK)
Please install them to avoid this message.

(...) we *strongly* recommend you to install all the listed missing dependecies (...)"

I was looking for exactly what was trying to load the dependency. It's very common for a missing dep to actually be something one of the dependencies needs, not the actual program itself.

Actually the nbconvert package for Python 2 is not available in Arch Linux repositories.
Porting it from Python 3 to Python 2 would require a big amount of dependencies to port to Python 2.

Whenever the bug #53658 will be solved then Spyder could use the nbconvert package to manipulate IPython notebooks.
In the meanwhile I'm marking the dependency as optional, hiding then the warning about missing nbconvert package for Python 2.
