Crash right at the first time when I launch after install

[Jasur Sadikov]

After installing a binary version of ungoogled-chromium it is not able to launch.
When you do launch from console. you see the following error message:
/usr/lib/chromium/chromium: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.73: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

You need to wait until the rebuild against ICU 74 is finished.

Edit: ungoogled-chromium 120.0.6099.109-2 is already available from the OBS repository. Where did you get your package from?

@jxir I got it from paru

aur/ungoogled-chromium-bin 120.0.6099.109-1 [+63 ~4.38] [Installed]

So if you installed Ungoogled Chromium via paru, which is an AUR helper script, then you have this AUR package. As of now it installs this binary, which is built against ICU 73 and therefore broken on an up-to-date Arch system.

I expect the AUR package to be updated within the next 12 or so hours.

Alternatively you could try to downgrade your icu package. In the past I found this to be troublesome because of interdependencies with harfbuzz, harfbuzz-icu and other packages.

Another alternative would be to use the OBS repository. Setup instructions

@jasursadikov The AUR package has been updated!

Thanks! Now I am free to switch to this browser.
