Update fail - icu

Issues & Assistance
1

Running the Garuda update tool I was not able to update due to:

:: installing icu (76.1-1) breaks dependency 'libicui18n.so=75-64' required by electron29

I decided to skip icu:

sudo pacman -Syu --ignore icu

The system went through with updates then.
However apps would then not launch. A terminal would not launch. System Monitor would not launch. Shutdown or reboot would not function.

I decided to force shut down. The system would not boot.
I used the last snapshot. (Thank you Garuda for implementing this!)
I am back up running, but still have the icu error blocking updates.

How do I update from here?
Thanks.

Did you need it?

pacman -Qi electron3
electron33  (33.4.1-1)  electron34  (34.2.0-1)

You can remove it, maybe :slight_smile:

But I must remove

installing icu (76.1-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=75-64' required by fsearch

fsearch :smiley:

It appears not!

pactree -r electron29
electron29
anarcho@LuNoHo ~> pacman -Qi | grep -A 1 'Depends On' | grep electron29
anarcho@LuNoHo ~ [0|0|1]>

I have removed electron29 and now updated!
Thanks.

Same issue waiting for the update so I can add fsearch back. For now I just uninstalled it.

Ive got the error during update as well. I saw this post and wounder if you’ve made any head way yet?

 ╭─sgs@y7p in ~ as 🧙 took 8s

 ╰─λ pacman -Qi fsearch
Name                     : fsearch
Version                  : 0.2.3-3.4
Beschreibung             : A fast graphical file search utility

An update today on another PC did not fail and fsearch works.

core/icu   75.1-2      76.1-1      1.12 MiB      11.38 MiB

Ohh, I think after reboot it will fail :rofl:
No, works, upd Sway works too.

The issue is completely solved now. It was fixed sometime yesterday. fsearch for me and one or more of the electron files were affected that I know of so far.

I dont understand the fix listed. I may need to make my own post.

icu couldn’t be updated because of two dependencies for various programs would break thus breaking those programs. Sometime after the initial post on here and other forums the maintainers must have finally updated those two dependencies, cause all I did later in the day was attempt a update again after reinstalling fsearch and no issue cropped up.

I might have the same problem. I made a post with the update error in it. I’m hoping not to uninstall something I don’t need to, and end up on a rabbit hunt. Take a look? Maybe your fix will work for me as well, but I’m need to do some review before I decide on a fix.
