Caramba!,
I got caught by the update in the middle of a simple update…hope nothing breaks. 
Regards
“Good news, everyone!” (Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth’s)
Since I was working on something I didn’t want to restart the PC until today Sunday to have time to reinstall just in case. My PC started without any visible or perceivable problems.
Kudos! Manjaro’s Team.
We haven’t heard from @MrE in over an hour! Send a scout down the hole and lay off of pamac until we know more about the situation.
Some mentioned problems are already fixed :
Using pamac-manager for the update, I had an error that since pamac was unable to update /etc/dunst/dunstrc, the update would not be committed. I am running i3 on an Intel Celeron-based dual-boot PC.
Fixed it by uninstalling dunstify, which then is not available anymore to install. Probably should be automated.
Hope that helps.

Mesa got updated to 21.3.6
…
Mesa is now at 21.3.7
The first mention is redundant, Stable now has 21.3.7-1.
Thanks for another Stable update.
Thanks for the new updates. Especially for KDE plasma 5.24.2. 
I was thinking we will have to wait until KDE plasma 5.24.3 to be in the stable branch.
I want to tell you that I tested Kde plasma 5.24.2 with the testing branch the previous days. I checked the problem that we had with the user’s avatar picture in the previous Kde plasma 5.23.5. Now, with kde plasma 5.24.2, changing the avatar picture is good through KDE settings but the system always display an error message (An error has occurred) after requesting my administrator password. Can you check it and perhaps report it to the KDE developers ?
Thanks.
I had a similar issue, a conflict involving dunstify (sorry, it’s in French):
Analyse des conflits entre fichiers...
La validation de la transaction a échoué:
conflit de fichiers :
- dunst : /usr/bin/dunstify existe déjà dans le système de fichiers (appartient à dunstify)
and couldn’t simply uninstall dunstify, since it is required by many other packages installed on my system.
bluetooth-keyboards get recognized and connected but they are without function. i tried 3 keyboards, it’s the same behaviour at all three of them. bluetooth-mice still works.
I have some icky locale issues after updating. Updated with pamac from TTY. This for example results in gnome-terminal failing to run with error:
# Locale not supported by C library.
# Using the fallback 'C' locale.
# Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: Timeout was reached
[Edit: fixed my problems. Used Manjaro Settings Manager to use the Locale Settings. They were empty as suspected. Set everything back the way it used to be. Saved. Regenerated initial ramdisk images with sudo mkinitcpio -P. No more errors. Everything back to normal.]
[Edit 2: updated a couple of other PCs also running Manjaro Stable/Cinnamon DE: no issues with those updates.]

…look for /etc/locale.gen.pacnew .
I used pacdiff to check for .pacnew files after updating. There was nothing new.
/etc/locale.conf and /etc/locale.gen are back to normal (at least) after I used the Locale Settings in the Manjaro Settings Manager. No idea what happened. I am going to it a try on another PC now.
Intel AX200 Bluetooth is still broken after this update also. (WIFI part works (tested), but don’t care and not using it, as it’s desktop computer)

So basically bluetooth devices can’t connect. Because blueman-manager doesn’t find any controllers and doesn’t even start. And it seems I might not be the only one with ax200 problems with recent kernel/firmware/ucode updates – FS#73387 : [linux-firmware] Intel AX210 iwlwifi broken on kernel and firmware upgrade
Made an account to post this.
Plasma Wayland on NVIDIA has broken for me in this update. Just a black screen with blinking cursor. Installed gnome-shell just to test, and wayland works fine on that.

Probably due to my dual NVIDIA GPU setup. I’ll update the post if single GPU fixes it.
Edit: Single GPU fixes it.
Thank you for the heads-up… found it in my update log:
Upgrading glibc (2.33-5 -> 2.35-2)...
/etc/locale.gen installed as /etc/locale.gen.pacnew.
Generating locales...
en_US.UTF-8... done
en_CA.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
Upgrading gcc-libs (11.1.0-3 -> 11.2.0-3)...
Using meld I noticed the pacnew file was the same except for one additional line; resolved with:
$ cd /etc
$ sudo rm locale.gen
$ sudo mv locale.gen.pacnew local.gen
$ sudo mkinitcpio -P
Since the last update I have a strange dark stripe on Brave-Browser on the left in my favorite newspaper website. I’m not sure if the error is related to Plasma or Brave. Can not say exactly, but those color probably matches the color of global theming.

I’ve previously had issues with my AX200 bluetooth (Anyone else experiencing Intel AX200 Bluetooth being disabled in kernel515?), and found after this update that it continues to work… No errors in journal, and my bluetooth devices are still listed in the bluetooth plasmoid. Some thoughts that may be helpful…
blueman is listed in pamac, I do not have it installed. Not sure if it’s a requirement for your distro, but perhaps blueman is where the problem lies?
