Libreoffice won't start in Manjaro XFCE 21.0.7

Support Software & Applications

Hello Everyone,
Hope you all are well. I installed Manjaro XFCE 21.0.7 on my desktop 4 days ago. But yet, I couldn’t start Libreoffice 7.1.4-1 (Fresh). When I run libreoffice command, I got this message:

/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_locale.so.1.76.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What should I try next?

$ inxi -Fxz

Try

sudo pacman -Scc
sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syyuu libreoffice-fresh

That library is provided by boost-libs:

❯ pacman -Fx libboost_locale.so
extra/boost-libs 1.76.0-1 [installed]
    usr/lib/libboost_locale.so
    usr/lib/libboost_locale.so.1.76.0

You could submit an Arch bug report if you wish.

i had the same problem with others apps also i was newly install manjaro
in konsole if you try
'sudo pacman -Syu '
and have this result

"warning local is newer than extra "

inter this code:
'sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 5 && sudo pacman -Syyu'
now all my apps work fine
