Description:
Spyder crashes at startup, complaining about the version of the spyder-kernels module (required: <2.2.0,>=2.1.1 ; Arch ships 2.2.0).

Additional info:
* package version(s)
spyder 5.1.5-2
python-spyder-kernels 2.2.0-1
* config and/or log files etc.

* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:
install spyder
start spyder from the terminal

Additional info: building the 2.2.0 spyder-kernels by modifying the PKGBUILD for python-spyder-kernels doesn't solve the issue, as once spyder stops complaining about the kernel version, the kernel complains about other packages.
