[gnome] libgdm fails to upgrade
Artix-runit Gnome 3, installed from base ISO, worked fine here and was regularly upgraded without a problem for a few months. Uses GDM.
Today, libgdm upgrades started to fail due to unsatisfied libsystemd.so dependency. libgdm is a dependency of explicitly installed gdm package:
$ dt && sudo pacman -Syu

In Arch, libsystemd.so is provided by systemd-libs package. Can't figure out, by what libsystemd.so is provided in Artix.
artix-archlinux-support package is installed. It provides systemd-libs. Seems unlikely that systemd-libs doesn't provide libsystemd.so in Artix anymore.
Do you think there is a way to bring GDM back to life, without replacing it by another display manager? Or it's better to suspend Gnome 3 / GDM experiments for a while?
