Remove pyexiv2 and replace with python2-exiv2 (Both from AUR).

pacman -Rns -dd pyexiv2 (To disable dependency check caused from variety)

So this seems like an issue in the dependencies of the package for Arch. You seem to be experienced with Arch (I have 0 experience there), can you please bring this up to the maintainer of the package so they can fix it for everybody? Thanks in advance.

Experience, no. Just a great guess. I'll leave a comment on the appropriate packages.
