icu drama, again. Chromium is broken after the last update.

Hi,

for the 4th time extra/chromium is broken after the last update to chromium-106.0.5249.119-2.
Error:
Code: [Select]
/usr/lib/chromium/chromium: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.72: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hotfix:
Code: [Select]
wget -vO /tmp/icu-72.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/icu/download/
tar -xvC /tmp/ --zstd -f /tmp/icu-72.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
sudo chown 0:0 /tmp/usr/lib/libicu*.72*
sudo cp -a /tmp/usr/lib/libicu*.72* /usr/lib/

Before you install the Artix icu-72 update:
Code: [Select]
 sudo rm -f /usr/lib/libicu*.72*

Package ungoogled-chromium-106.0.5249.119-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst from the Universe repo works fine on an up-to-date system.

Thank you but I *need* the web pages translate functionality and ungoogled-chromium does not have translate functionality.

Recent libreoffice-still 7.3.6-4 update also requires icu 72, while 71 is installed.

Yes that's in Arch's repos. We haven't yet finished our icu rebuilds hence the mismatch. Same thing with libreoffice-still. It's totally out of our control. Just downgrade the package for now and wait.

The icu drama continues.
I can't wait until my daily use programs work again.

Code: [Select]
sudo pacman -Syu
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing icu (72.1-1) breaks dependency 'libicui18n.so=71-64' required by betterbird
:: installing icu (72.1-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=71-64' required by betterbird

Sight.
I have to have both icu libs installed until every program that uses icu is updated to version 72.
So another hotfix. Bevor you install the Artix icu 72 update save the icu 71 libs.
Code: [Select]
mkdir -p /tmp/usr/lib
sudo cp -a /usr/lib/libicu*.71* /tmp/usr/lib/
sudo pacman -Suy --nodeps
sudo cp -a /tmp/usr/lib/libicu*.71* /usr/lib/

Don't forget to remove the hotfix files after they not longer needed: sudo rm -f /usr/lib/libicu*.71*

Oh yes it does!!! You just need to add that feature in yourself.
Go here, to the Google Chrome extensions google translate extension:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-translate/aapbdbdomjkkjkaonfhkkikfgjllcleb/related?hl=en-GB

And then click add to Chrome, click the little thing on the top bar to manage the extension settings, it works, c'est bon, gut, maravilhoso, отлично, etc.  :D

My whole system got bricked because of  `icu` ... Had to downgrade icu using chroot..
Now things mostly work but other things are broken (libreoffice, qt5-base etc..)
What is there to do? From what i read it's a common occurrence for `icu` to break?

Good for me now: icu, universe/ungoogled-chromium, extra/libreoffice-still are upgraded & consistent, the only thing still outdated is:

Code: [Select]
# check-link-consistency -q
ERR   -----------------   ------------------   ----------------------

Thank you. :)

I don't have a "add to Chrome" button/icon/text/link
See screen hardcopy.

Sorry, I think that was "chromium" on the laptop I tried with, not "ungoogled-chromium" as it was installed before that package existed, you need to add extensions manually to the ungoogled variety, you can still do that OK just not by the button.

You might want to have a look at https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store :

Allows adding extensions from chrome web store on ungoogled-chromium. Also adds semi-automatic extension updating.

It is common you might have to wait a day or maybe two before all packages requiring a rebuild are ready.
It is not common things get broken; when updating to icu 72, pacman must have shown you something similar to:

Code: [Select]
resolving dependencies...

I have the strong impression you have no clue what the chromium translate functionality is.
You go to a website in any language. Lets say you want order pizza online in Columbia and speak not a word Spanish.
You press the right button at https://rappi.com.co/ and click on 'translate to english'.
The website reload in its original design and with ALL javascript functionality. But now everything that is not graphic is translated to English.

The Google 'Translate' add-on on the other site allows you only to mark text and than take you to the google translate website for translation.
Good luck with ordering a pizza with this laughable functionality.

3 times today chromium de-install ; ungoogle-chromium install. Test -> does not work. Chromium install. 😬
