Problem updating system packages

Hi I have been expiriancing a lot of problems regarding some of the libraries and I cannot understand what is happening:

  • Problem 1 EMACS

  • So when I try to run emacs after installing it using pacman I get the error
    emacs: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.68: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    IDK whats the problem with that

  • Problem 2 R

  • I am using R markdown as a replacement for LaTeX but when I run sudo R I get
    /usr/lib64/R/bin/exec/R: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.68: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

WHAT ARE THESE PROBLEMS AND WHAT CAN BE DONE

Also I do have many problems regarding mirrors for pacman as I have to see large ammounts of warning failed receiving ...
Can someone help

It looks like you have a partial update.
Re-create your mirrorlist with Garuda utility, or reflector and do a proper update.
Check about icu package

bash -c 'grep icu /var/log/pacman.log'

Don’t care, for your tone.

Unless you just started using the internet yesterday, you should know writing in all uppercase is rude and will get you little assistance.

Sorry I did not in any way want to be rude I just wanted the last statement to standout from the rest of the text but I am sorry if it did hurt somebody

I did use the arch mirrorlist to change the mirrors as for the other one this is my output

I don’t know what you mean with “arch mirrorlist”.
Anyway, you have to update your system packages. It seems some packages were not upgraded.
Run this terminal command, until there are no error messages on installations.

sudo pacman -Syyu

You have a “partial upgrade” state, your package versions are not aligned.

Refresh your mirror list and make sure your packages are fully up-to-date.

use

sudo pacman -Syu --overwrite "*"

or search in

man yay

that does something like this.

WTF :rofl:
Did you install something via pip (namely setuptools & urllib3)?

OMG I read only the last "ssltransport.cpython-39.pyc exists in filesystem"

I am too old for this sh!t :smiley:
