[solved]Virtualbox doesn't launch. undefined symbol: ucal_open_61

After an update Virtualbox has stopped working.

running virtualbox from console outputs:

VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen("/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so",) failed: /usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5: undefined symbol: ucal_open_61

VirtualBox 5.2.12-2
Gnome (happens on Wayland and Xorg) 3.28.2
Qt5 5.11.1-1
I really don't have any clue on what the error could be. I haven't encountered an error like this one yet.

Post the output of

ls -l /usr/lib/libicu*

Thank you! I had the now obsolete .60 libraries still in there. Thanks for pointing me in the correct direction

This is why you never, ever, should make symlinks when you find missing library errors.
