Cannot run gnome-terminal after updating today. From journalctl:

Edit:
My fault. vte3-ng was as vte3 library and it's few versions older. It was installed for Termite. So gnome-terminal could not start. Removing vte3-ng with
pacman -Rdd vte3-ng
and installing vte3 helped.

I think it should be mentioned somewhere that installing Termite with vte3-ng after gnome-terminal breakes gnome-terminal as vte3-ng provides vte3 version 0.50.2 but gnome-terminal requires at least 0.51.3 (according to this comment in code)

It shouldn't just be mentioned somewhere. The gnome-terminal arch package should be updated to require vte3>=0.52.0, i.e. this is arch packaging bug.

Thanks. I even didn't know about arch bugtracker.

ooo, I suggest you read this recent thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=235355.

Thanks, I thought versioned dependencies were more commonly used, and suitable for cases like this one.
Having an up-to-date vte3-ng package is, of course, better solution. Although there doesn't seem to be any clue about when the upstream might be synced with 0.52.0.

This also affects extra/xfce4-terminal.

Have you created a bug report about the issue to notify the package maintainer?

Bug report would just be closed. vte3-ng is not in the repos, it is no longer Arch's responsibility.
