[SOLVED] can't start chromium: libharfbuzz-icu.so.0: file too short

After today's update, chromium does not start. In console, I get the following error message:

/usr/lib/chromium/chromium: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libharfbuzz-icu.so.0: file too short

Anyone else facing the same issue?

Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Theo

Have you tried reinstalling harfbuzz-icu?

Works fine here, although I get

I did reinstall harvbuzz, forgot about harvbuzz-icu (did not notice the -icu). That did the trick. Thanks.
