[SOLVED] Blobwars & dbus problem

Hi,

Today I tried to start the game "blobwars" and it gave me the following error message:

process 1562: arguments to dbus_type_is_basic() were incorrect, assertion "dbus_type_is_valid (typecode) || typecode == DBUS_TYPE_INVALID" failed in file dbus-signature.c line 322.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.
  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace

Any idea on how I could solve this?

Thanks

Seems to be an SDL issue. You can try downgrading it version 2.0.5 (from 2.0.6) or wait for the bugfix.

If you want to downgrade, here is the full command.

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/sdl2-2.0.5-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

OK, thanks for the answer, it seems they found a solution and so I'll wait until the package is upgraded.

The last  pacman -Syu solved the problem.
