Calamares Initialization Failed - the following modules could not be loaded

This error happens on a Weekly artix-xfce-openrc-20220404-x86_64.iso ,
instantly when trying to open the Calamares installer:

Code: [Select]
Calamares Initialization Failed

Artix Linux cannot be installed. Calamares was unable to load all of the configured modules.
This is a problem with the way Calamares is being used by the distribution.

The following modules could not be loaded:

mount@mount
unpackfs@unpackfs
fstab@fstab
localecfg@localecfg
initcpiocfg@initcpiocfg
displaymanager@displaymanager
networkcfg@networkcfg
hwclock@hwclock
services-openrc@services-openrc
grubcfg@grubcfg
bootloader@bootloader
postcfg@postcfg

If I try to launch by the console -
Code: [Select]
pkexec env DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=/home/artix/.Xauthority QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2 calamares
- there are the additonal error messages on the console, like:

Code: [Select]
...
**:**:** [1]: void Calamares::ModuleManager::loadModules()
    ERROR: Module "postcfg@postcfg" not found in module search paths.
     "/usr/lib/calamares/modules"
**:**:** [1]: void CalamaresApplication::initFailed(const QStringList&)
    ERROR: STARTUP: failed modules are ("mount@mount", "unpackfs@unpackfs", "fstab@fstab", "localecfg@localecfg", "initcpiocfg@initcpiocfg", "displaymanager@displaymanager", "networkcfg@networkcfg", "hwclock@hwclock", "services-openrc@services-openrc", "grubcfg@grubcfg", "bootloader@bootloader", "postcfg@postcfg")

I also don't see any directories like "/usr/lib/calamares/modules/bootloader/" which have been accessible with earlier "stable" ISOs
