TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object' While trying to open spyder

Question

I upgraded my Spyder Install recently and it stopped working altogether. I tried some solutions mentioned online like upgrading qt and trying to open a new instance but nothing helped so far. This is the output I am getting.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/spyder", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('spyder==5.2.0', 'gui_scripts', 'spyder')())

    return packaging.version.Version(v)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/packaging/version.py", line 296, in __init__
    match = self._regex.search(version)
TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object

I am running Arch linux. Any Help would be wonderful.
