Cannot install in Arch linux

Tried installing from AUR and got
error making: python2 resynthesizer

Unfortunately, GIMP 2 python plugins still use python 2. Few distributions still ship python 2. Some distributions formerly packaged e a python2 specifically for GIMP, in say a package called "gimp-python". Many distributions have stopped doing that. I can't comment on what AUR distribution does, since I don't have time to keep up with all the distributions. Unless AUR is packaging Python2, you probably can't use any Python plugin in GIMP. That is, this is not just a Resynthesizer problem.

I could be wrong. I am just giving you my thoughts. It probably is not something I can fix.

AUR == Arch Linux User Repository :)
A few weeks ago Arch dropped support for python2 entirely. Python2 support within gimp was dropped long before that.
So nothing you can do, as every user needs to figure out themselves how to proceed. Some helpers will get all the missing deps and build + install them or they need to manually go through the dep chain.
Long story short: @SiddhantSilwal should report issues due to missing deps at the respective aurweb page and this should be closed as you cannot do anything :)

You could ask the maintainer to build against the deprecations branch and use gimp-git from AUR (2.99) which uses python3 (still not stable, but it works fine for me)

@Narrat nope issue is the thing that resythensizer is still being dependent upon a out-of-date package and 'You cannot do anything' is not a feasible thing to say in a opensource project. Its a good move for distros to get rid of old things as they are a burden considering these organisations are not paid enough. I just wanted to inform the maintainer that its time to move and please the maintainer may stop recommending flatpak as its not a solution and just a WORKARROUND.

yeah but Python 2 is over. may be if it is added as a dependency.
