[SOLVED] Problem after update: cannot resolve "libicuuc.so=76-64"

RudderDuck · 2025-02-20 14:13:54

A few days I tried to update my system (sudo pacman -Syu) and got the following warnings:

warning: cannot resolve "libicuuc.so=76-64", a dependency of "brltty"
warning: cannot resolve "libicuuc.so=76-64", a dependency of "gspell"
warning: cannot resolve "libicuuc.so=76-64", a dependency of "harfbuzz-icu"
warning: cannot resolve "libicuuc.so=76-64", a dependency of "libphonenumber"
warning: cannot resolve "libicui18n.so=76-64", a dependency of "libphonenumber"
warning: cannot resolve "libicuuc.so=76-64", a dependency of "raptor"
warning: cannot resolve "libicui18n.so=76-64", a dependency of "thunderbird"
warning: cannot resolve "libicuuc.so=76-64", a dependency of "thunderbird"
:: The following packages cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      brltty  gspell  harfbuzz-icu  libphonenumber  raptor  thunderbird

Assuming this would be a temporary issue and required mirrors updating I waited a few days but the warnings did not go away.

I then removed the packages that could not be upgraded due to unresolved dependencies and the warnings went away. However reinstalling packages now results in warnings so that I cannot re-install for instance libreoffice:

sudo pacman -S libreoffice

:: There are 4 providers available for libreoffice:
:: Repository extra-testing
   1) libreoffice-fresh  2) libreoffice-still
:: Repository extra
   3) libreoffice-fresh  4) libreoffice-still

Enter a number (default=1):
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "libicuuc.so=76-64", a dependency of "raptor"
warning: cannot resolve "raptor", a dependency of "rasqal"
:: There are 2 providers available for libraptor2.so=0-64:
:: Repository extra-testing
   1) raptor
:: Repository extra
   2) raptor

Enter a number (default=1):
warning: cannot resolve "libicuuc.so=76-64", a dependency of "raptor"
warning: cannot resolve "libraptor2.so=0-64", a dependency of "rasqal"
warning: cannot resolve "rasqal>=0.9.26", a dependency of "redland"
warning: cannot resolve "libicuuc.so=76-64", a dependency of "raptor"
warning: cannot resolve "raptor>=2.0.6", a dependency of "redland"
warning: cannot resolve "redland", a dependency of "libreoffice-fresh"
warning: cannot resolve "libicuuc.so=76-64", a dependency of "harfbuzz-icu"
warning: cannot resolve "harfbuzz-icu", a dependency of "libreoffice-fresh"
warning: cannot resolve "libicuuc.so=76-64", a dependency of "raptor"
warning: cannot resolve "raptor", a dependency of "libreoffice-fresh"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      libreoffice-fresh

:: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N]

At the moment I am stuck where libreoffice is no longer installable and also thunderbird. Do I need to wait for mirrors to update or am I missing something? Any help will be appreciated.

So you have Extra-Testing enabled, but not Core-Testing? Testing repos are all or nothing.

icu has moved to Core so this will resolve itself when your mirror syncs, but it'll happen again if you don't fix your pacman.conf.

Thanks for your quick reply. Following your advice I removed the # in the pacman.conf file to enable the core-testing repository. Hopefully it will resolve itself now and will not happen again.

You also need to do a full update (pacman -Syu) or install with pacman -Su <program>

It seems libffi now breaks a dependency:

resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing libffi (3.4.7-1) breaks dependency 'libffi=3.4.6' required by lib32-libffi

Assuming this also requires some patience.

gromit · 2025-02-20 15:08:40

Do you have multilib-testing enabled aswell?

RudderDuck · 2025-02-20 15:47:27

Ah, thanks Gromit, that was it. Guess I need to start working on my knowledge regarding repos

ostroffjh · 2025-02-21 04:11:46

I only have system, world, and galaxy repos enabled, no testing at all, and I'm still getting blocked by Thunderbird (128.7.1-3) requiring the old icu. What else might I have messed up in my config?

As those aren't Arch repos, we have no idea. Ask on your distro's help channels.

Oops. My bad. I'm on an Artix machine not Arch. It was a sloppy selection of forum. Will go bug them instead.

Arch Linux
