Gnome Control Center does not open, error related to libicui18n.so.70

Hi

I can't open Gnome Control Center after recent update.

$ gnome-control-center
gnome-control-center: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.70: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How to fix it?

This is almost always because of a partial update. Nothing in gnome-control-center links directly to libicu*, so it's something it's linked to that's requiring the old lib. Use lddtree from the pax-utils package, it'll tell you what is pulling in that old lib.

Thanks Scimmia. i have no ideia what this output means

It's a tree showing what libs are loading what. You can see that libicu*.so.70 are listed under libsamba-util.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsamba-util.so.0, so that's where your problem is. Did you ignore the smbclient update? Are you using an unofficial smbclient package? pacman -Qo can help you know if you don't already.

I was using an old version of smbclient due to this bug

Updated to current version, now Gnome Control Center opens again. Thank you Scimmia.
