[solved] icu, firefox and libreoffice woes

throbscottle · 2014-10-31 20:34:18

Don't know if this should be reported as a bug, but...
I updated firefox, which wouldn't start because of a icu dependency.
Updated icu, and nss, which showed as the next dependency.
Libreoffice then wouldn't start because it couldn't find the right version of libicuuc (sorry I don't remember which)
So I upgraded libreoffice to libreoffice-fresh.
It said: /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.53: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Checked the version of libicuuc.so which is installed - it's 54.

I'm hoping the packages are just out of sync and if I try again in a day or two it will work...

If this is not the case, any suggestions, anyone?

TIA

This sounds like you are doing partial upgrades. Run `pacman -Syyu`...

Hmmm, I was trying to avoid that. OK, deep breath, here goes, see you on the other side...

Oh ok, I didn't know about that. The last time I did a complete upgrade I ended up re-installing - but that was with the change to systemd and I didn't check the news first. Anyway, I'm more cautious now...

Oh hello, it's finished. All good.
Many thanks

Welcome to the forums. Glad you were able to fix it.

Try to pay attention to the dates on threads. This thread is almost 10 years old. Closing this old thread.
Also, be careful with yay, it bites.
