Rocketchat from AUR is missing libicui18n and others

Support AUR
1

After the (I belive) the 2023-07-10 update the rocketchat-desktop from the AUR stopped working with

/usr/lib/electron21/electron: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.72: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The icu lib got updated to version 73 so I tried to help myself out with some symlinks:

ln -s libicui18n.so.73 libicui18n.so.72
ln -s libicuuc.so.73 libicuuc.so.72

but then I end up with electron missing some uscript

/usr/lib/electron21/electron: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/electron21/electron: undefined symbol: uscript_getScript_72

I’m stuck here. Any ideas?

For issues with AUR packages you should contact the AUR packager on the package page.
AUR = “ArchLinux User Repository”, in other words not made nor maintained nor supported by Manjaro…

Someone opened an issue on the rocketchat github for this.

Nevermind. We can close this.

You have electron21 still installed, but it was dropped to the AUR and never rebuilt on icu 73. Install electron21-bin instead.

Never do that. Remove any symlinks you created.
