I am trying to run ROS on archlinux and I am geting the following erros:

$ rosdep init
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/rosdep", line 3, in <module>
    from rosdep2.main import rosdep_main
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/rosdep2/__init__.py", line 40, in <module>
    from .installers import InstallerContext, Installer, \
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/rosdep2/installers.py", line 36, in <module>

  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/rospkg/os_detect.py", line 42, in <module>
    import distro
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distro'

I did source /opt/melodic/setup.bash. A similar error occurs when I run roscore:

$ roscore

  File "/opt/ros/melodic/bin/roscore", line 72, in <module>

I am guessing this error is somehow related to python, it seems to me that it is trying to use python3 deps. When I install ROS from the AUR packages does it install ROS for python2? Maybe it does not install the dependencies required for python3? Is it possible to force it to use python2?
