[Solved] libicu 73 causes conflicting packages

When opening the newest version of libreoffice-fresh 7.6.4-2 it does not open due to an error with conflicting libraries:
Code: [Select]
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.74: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
and since libicu and lib32-icu is only on 73.2-2 on the system and multilib

Code: [Select]
~ ❯ p -Ss libicu
system/icu 73.2-2 [installed]
    International Components for Unicode library
multilib/lib32-icu 74.2-1 [installed]
    International Components for Unicode library (32 bit)

There is no way to upgrade to libicu 74.

I tried to install the up to date version by compiling the package build from source https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/icu

But it also created conflicts with multiple other packages on my system.
Code: [Select]
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by gspell
:: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by harfbuzz-icu
:: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicui18n.so=73-64' required by mpd
:: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by mpd
:: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicui18n.so=73-64' required by ncmpcpp
:: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by ncmpcpp
:: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by raptor
:: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicui18n.so=73-64' required by thunderbird
:: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by thunderbird

I ended up using [downgrade](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/downgrade) to on libreoffice to get it working, but I would like this to be fixed so I can use the newest version possible.

I'd suggest don't mix artix' and arch's packages. libreoffice-fresh 7.6.4-2 for now is in arch's extra repo, and in artix' galaxy repo is libreoffice-fresh 7.6.4-1. I do believe there will be an update soon enough.

Oh I see, that is an issue on my part. For some reason I thought the galaxy repo wasn't active anymore as I skimmed through this thread https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,5887.0.html

I just read the bottom post and uncommented the galaxy repo from my /etc/pacman.conf

I reinstalled the correct version of libreoffice and I didn't get that issue.

Sorry for the misunderstanding and thank you for helping.

The other packages that are listed all are working, but won't upgrade until libicu 74 is available.

lib32/lib32-icu and system/icu have incompatible versions and are behind release

Related:

lib32/lib32-icu is now at version 74.1-1, while system/icu, which is a dependency for lib32/lib32-icu, is at version 73.2-2, and upstream icu is at release version 74.2.

As a workaround, there is an AUR package icu74.

And Chromium won't load due to the same reason. Waiting for the update. Just my 5¢.

I can confirm. On a clean machine:

Code: [Select]
:: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by gspell
:: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by harfbuzz-icu
:: installing icu (74.2-1) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=73-64' required by raptor

Btw, note for AUR users: this new 74 version of icu will break some things that depend on it, thus needing to be recompiled. For example, a dropped qt5-webkit package etc.

But can be installed in parallel with Artix' icu version 73 (it only provides the libraries .so.74*, no executables.) So it should not break the Artix packages that depend on icu 73.

And when Artix has upgraded to icu 74 everything should get fine again anyway.

It cannot upgrade at the moment as I've mentioned above.

Ah OK, Artix now also has upgraded to from icu 73.2 to icu 74.2.

So ping the maintainers of the ill-depending packages :-), or build a compatibility package icu73:

Very massive update and after that everything is working on my system so far.
