Package icu broke the system

Tonight, I wanna find a lightweight web browser for my old laptop. First comes to me is midori, but the error message " error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.70"  hit me when I started the midori.

The version of libicuuc.so in my system is 71. So I tried to download the old version package in the archive repo and downgrade it, while the large dependency refused me.

Maybe the current midori isn't latest, I should pick another browser. Then I tried netsurf , while the same error came again.

BTW, this isn't the first time that it's happened according to this google search

So what should I do to install midori or netsurf in my current system with the crazy icu ?

Re: Package icu broke the system

This is almost always because of a partial update. Either not updating some packages from the repos, or from replacing something with AUR/3rd party versions and not rebuilding them when you need to.

Check the binary that's causing a problem with lddtree, it'll tell you what's trying to link to the old library.
