After 3 patch versions, I'm still unable to fix this issue. I have tried build it locally with the PKGBUILD that Arch repo uses but unable to reproduce it.
It may be because python3 is not available, or python failed to find the help.json file. Can you please try adding python3 to build dependency explicitly and patching the source file with
diff --git a/CMakeLists.txt b/CMakeLists.txt

If everything is normal, fastfetch --help should print like this:
Thanks in advance.

The
--helpoption is incomplete in version 2.3.3 available in the Arch Linux repository. The message shown appears to be incomplete, without all the available options that were presented with the--helpoption. I use the Alacritty terminal, with zsh, tmux and p10k. Other options are working correctly.The
fastfetch --helpcommand displays the following message:image with my use of fastfetch: https://imgur.com/a/QlCFZJO
