Upgrading to glib2-2.70.0-1 breaks my system

After the upgrade to glib2-2.70.0-1, a lot of apps won't launch, and I get an error like:

/usr/lib/chromium/chromium: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgio-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_module_open_full

Reverting to glib2-2.68.4-1 with the following command:

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/glib2-2.68.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

allows me to come back to a functioning state.

I couldn't find any relevant announcement nor other users facing the exact same issue.
Any idea on how I can investigate this issue and fix my system?

Re: Upgrading to glib2-2.70.0-1 breaks my system

glib2 was updated on 2021-09-21 16:08 UTC and chromium on 2021-10-08 09:19 UTC so it's pretty save to say that the latter was build against glib2-2.70.0-1
=> Do you conduct partial updates? ("After the upgrade to glib2-2.70.0-1" doesn't sound like "after some pacman -Syu")

Re: Upgrading to glib2-2.70.0-1 breaks my system

I don't do partial updates, always "yay -Syu" (with --noconfirm, which may have done unexpected things) but perhaps this could have happened if my laptop run out of battery while upgrading. It seems something went wrong somehow.
Pacman keeps updating without errors, and as long as I downgrade glib2 after the upgrade I can still use my system so far.
But this probably means I broke something somehow, and I'd like help on figuring what and how to fix it.

Re: Upgrading to glib2-2.70.0-1 breaks my system

pacman -Qikk chromium glib2
ldd /usr/lib/libgio-2.0.so.0
readelf -sW /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0.7000.0 | grep g_module_open
readelf -sW /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so | grep g_module_open
ls /usr/lib/libgmodule*

g_module_open_full is supposed to be defined in libgmodule-2.0.so.0.7000.0 - either libgmodule-2.0.so linked in from somewhere else or broken or the libgmodule symlinks are mislinked (to an old version)

However, I noticed that even when I re-update with "pacman -Syu", my file system shows September 18th as the last modification date of the library files (as in screenshot below). That may be a useful hint of what's going on, I'm not sure:

The timestamp is preserved from the packaged file, that's fine.

Why are libs being used from /home/owner/local/goldendict/lib/lib/ ?

Sounds like you found the source of the problem, thanks. I'm confused because Goldendict++ was installed as a standalone, just pulling a repo (that contains all these libs...) and executing a binary file. As I didn't run the binary file with sudo, I just can't understand how it was able to replace/relink my libraries !
Any clue what happened?
I went to the dev page of the project and it says that with a modern Arch distro, I should remove all the libs from the project's lib folder, except a few that I should directly move into /usr/lib (libocrscreen.so,libgd_core.so,libao.so,libbass.so). This sounds like a terrible idea to me as I want things in /usr/lib to come from packages installed via pacman, not side-loaded software.

Any idea on how to clean things up? (I don't mind temporarily removing Goldendict++)
I also don't understand why downgrading to glib2-2.68.4-1 seems to fix all my problems (I can launch chromium and Cie).

Re: Upgrading to glib2-2.70.0-1 breaks my system

printenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH

If that is the cause,  the Goldendict++ installer has probably modified a startup file to set the variable.

printenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH                                                                                           02:27:15
/home/owner/local/goldendict/lib/lib

Indeed. So maybe it just changes this env variable everytime it executes?
I put an exec line for Goldendict++ in my i3 startup file myself.
Should I try to override this to /usr/lib?

Re: Upgrading to glib2-2.70.0-1 breaks my system

See if any file in your home directory is setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH

grep -r  ~ LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Is the startup command for Goldendict++ a shell script?  What is the current contents of your i3 startup file?

Re: Upgrading to glib2-2.70.0-1 breaks my system

Yeah, the content of the file I was launching at startup was:

#!/bin/sh

CURDIR="$PWD"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$CURDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=$CURDIR:$PATH
./GoldenDict &

I just changed LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib and upgraded with pacman -Syu and the system works as expected.
I think my path forward is to remove that export line, see what libraries are missing, and install them the official way.
If some libraries can't be found even on AUR, where would be the recommended place to put the extra library files?

Thanks for your help loqs and seth, I love how you ignored most of my questions and instead focused on solving the issue (that's what I really needed).

Try changing the script to this

#!/bin/sh

CURDIR="$PWD"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$CURDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH=$CURDIR:$PATH ./GoldenDict &

It no longer exports the variables only passes them to GoldenDict
