Valgrind and glibc version issue

From yesterday (Indian Standard Time), Valgrind doesn’t work, the problem is with glibc version. Testing and Stable Branch is providing glibc 2.37.2 but Arch version is at 2.37.3, and for that reason valgrind cannot find debug symbols.

I wanted to ask When glibc 2.37.3 will be available for Testing or Stable, this is really creating a mess for me. Thank you.

Here’s valgrind output

I suggest to switch to our unstable branch, which is more in sync with Arch Stable branches: Packages

Okay, giving it a try. If something breaks I’ll revert back to testing

I upgraded to unstable, now work just fine
