After updating system with `sudo pacman -Syu`, some programs including pacman itself cannot be launched.
❯ pacman
pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.76: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
❯ mpv
mpv: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.76: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I tried to update again with pacman-static but it is already up to date:
❯ sudo ./pacman-static -Syyu
