some python packages can be qt related, like pyside and python-pyqt5. 
It isn’t because of those. However, using gdb gave me a good clue, as there was a (vague) message about checking for an incompatible library version, which indicated /usr/lib/qt/plugins/styles/libqgtk2style.so - owned by qt5-styleplugins, which for some reason was installed from AUR (I seem to remember some comment about this package in an earlier update). Deleting it solved the problem.
I’ll update my original post as well in case it helps someone else.
But qt5-stuleplugins would still have been listed by the command I posted…
Unless the plugin was not even at version 5.15.5 but lower than that.
Much lower - 5.0.0.20170311. I can only assume it’s wanting 5.15.5 for some reason.
Ditto that. I also tried creating a snapshot using the CLI version. That failed too. Several crashes later, I was so frustrated last night I started looking for an alternative. But I like Timeshift. It has been so good for so long…
Strange, CLI works for me.
I copy pasted the command from this guy and it worked:

qbittorrent works and timeshift also works great again with this update
I tried the CLI version again this morning and it worked. I will remember to add the comments variable.
Part of my Timeshift experiments on two different partitions of the 500gb USB drive:
One is formatted ext4 the other BTRFS. I seem to have better success using the BTRFS partion for creating snapshots. Not conclusive though.
I too am getting libre office docs opening up minimized… i need to right click and maximize them to see them
Update went great this time but the “primary monitor” selection is still broken for me since the previous (October 5) update. Going to take a dive in the Google machine this weekend to see if I can find a fix.
(I’m on Gnome)
Found a workaround, if anyone else needs it. Edited my ~/.config/monitors.xml to set the primary-monitor and logged out/in to apply the settings.
A bit more verbose but it does the trick for now.
Unfortunately GeForce 3080 support still broken in this update. Tested with kernels 6.0 and 5.15.72 LTS.
The following describes a hacky workaround, which hopefully will lead to another patch.
I’m in the same situation as you, I was using linux519-broadcom-wl with my BCM43228.
Two possible workarounds I could think of:
A. create a temporary package for linux60-broadcom-wl
B. try the alternative package broadcom-wl-dkms
I went with the second, thinking that if it just works, it would be easier. In hindsight option A might have been easier …
I’ll highlight the useful steps. The first two need internet access, but can be done on an older linux version.
1. install broadcom-wl-dkms
Steps
I used the GUI pamac, from dependencies it installed dkms and uninstalled linux519-broadcom-wl
No magic, and reboot showed still no wifi, so that’s not another step.
So what is dkms anyway? man dkms shows it has an install command, lets give it a whirl… after a few naive attempts I got:
[misha@delphin ~]$ sudo dkms install broadcom-wl/6.30.223.271
Sign command: /usr/lib/modules/6.0.0-1-MANJARO/build/scripts/sign-file

Binary sign-file not found, module won't be signed
Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/broadcom-wl/6.30.223.271/source -> /usr/src/broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271
Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 6.0.0-1-MANJARO cannot be found at /usr/lib/modules/6.0.0-1-MANJARO/build or /usr/lib/modules/6.0.0-1-MANJARO/source.
Please install the linux-headers-6.0.0-1-MANJARO package or use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located.
Hooray for meaningful error messages … so lets give it what it wants.
2. install linux60-headers
Steps
Using pamac GUI again, yeah I know there’s a command line, I like GUIs haha.
Trying dkms install again …

Crash and burn! Oh well, what’s in make.log … a bunch of warnings and just one error:
/var/lib/dkms/broadcom-wl/6.30.223.271/build/src/wl/sys/wl_cfg80211_hybrid.c: In function ‘wl_bss_roaming_done’:

Looks a bit yuck, but the important bit is struct cfg80211_roam_info’ has no member named ‘bss’.
With the pragmatic logic of “surely it won’t care if it doesn’t receive something it knows nothing about”, plus I’m not roaming across a mesh wifi network, I decided to delete the prickly part, aka. “Cutting out the BSS”.
I found that the bit of code is added by one of the patches in the package broadcom-wl-dkms.
3. edit broadcom-wl patch file
Steps
Edit the patch file /usr/src/broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271/patches/007-linux412.patch
+ struct cfg80211_roam_info roam_info = {
+ /* .bss = bss, */ /* removed by Misha */
+ .req_ie = conn_info->req_ie,
+ .req_ie_len = conn_info->req_ie_len,
+ .resp_ie = conn_info->resp_ie,
+ .resp_ie_len = conn_info->resp_ie_len,
+ };
+#endif
Now there’s a highly irresponsible patch on a patch! Ideally another separate patch will be added to the package instead, with a more thorough understanding behind it.
4. dkms install broadcom-wl

Here we go again, this time I’ll trim the output:

Much better. Still no wifi though. Some status …

5. modprobe wl

The wifi suddenly turned itself on, yay! And persisted over a reboot.
Caveat: this method will likely get undone by a new version of broadcom-wl-dkms.

Thanks for the detailed response, I really appreciate it and I’m glad to know I’m not the only one affected by that.
But since the ethernet port doesn’t work on this Laptop, I’d rather keep running Kernel 5.19 until linux60-broadcom-wl gets added (hopefully).
I don’t want to risk losing access to internet right now lol.

I still haven’t got this update even though I still don’t see version 6.0 in the kernel manager. When I check manually with pamac it says my System is up to date. Is it possible I’ll get it later ?
Try: sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack && sudo pacman -Syu

Thanks it did the job! Why did I have to do this ? Will I have to run this manually each time I want to update now ?

Because you were using an outdated mirror.
No (if your currently chosen mirror syncs properly).

Some reading could be of interest, so scroll down to the bottom of this current page where it’s written “Support”…directly underneath that you’ll find “Wiki” and “Archived Forum”: they are literal mines of information - especially the latter which is a real treasure trove full of nuggets!
Update led to installation of “ceph” from AUR repos - the build of which was failing. uninstalled ceph and its dependencies and then update went smoothly.
Also pdfsam java dependency needs to be updated to the latest openjdk-jre-lts and not on openjdk-jre 11.
That’s currently available only as an AUR package. If you need to have some inputs regarding its dependencies, it’s better to direct any questions to its AUR maintainer or upstream.
