Title: re2 version 1:20200303-1 breaks electron and thus signal-desktop, chromium etc.

Error:
electron: error while loading shared libraries: libre2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

If you have trouble starting electron based apps like signal-desktop, chromium etc, then try to downgrade re2 from 1:20200303-1 to 1:20200101-1

If you didn't delete you pacman cache since upgrade, you can:
sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/re2-1:20200101-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Code: [Select]
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libre2.so /usr/lib/libre2.so.0
Works too. Just remember to remove the link after the package maintainer fixed the problem.
