hm, this looks like a bug in the Telethon library, something to do with the takeout mode. Can you try setting use_takeout to False in the config file?

Doesn't change the result. - Same error.

Following your suggestion, I've reinstalled telethon itself from git.

Now, the error changes:

tg-archive --sync --config ./config.yaml 2022-07-21 07:46:42,395: cryptg detected, it will be used for encryption Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/tg-archive", line 33, in sys.exit(load_entry_point('tg-archive==0.5.5', 'console_scripts', 'tg-archive')()) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/tg_archive-0.5.5-py3.10.egg/tgarchive/init.py", line 127, in main from .sync import Sync File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/tg_archive-0.5.5-py3.10.egg/tgarchive/sync.py", line 11, in from telethon import TelegramClient, errors, sync ImportError: cannot import name 'sync' from 'telethon' (/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/Telethon-1.24.0-py3.10.egg/telethon/init.py)

So, I'm digging deeper for the "sync" module. :-)

When you reinstalled, did you delete data.sqlite and the session file too? If not, should delete both and retry with takeout disabled.
