Hyperland fails to start after update: missing libabsl_log_internal_ch

Hi,

After a full system update on Arch Linux, including Hyperland, I can no longer start Hyperland from the display manager. The system boots to the lock screen but fails to log in. I can switch to a TTY and log in there successfully.

When I try to launch Hyperland manually from the terminal, I get the following error:

Hyperland: error while loading shared libraries: libabsl_log_internal_check_op.so.2501.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hyperland version:

hyperland 0.49.0r43.gbe6ee6e-1

My system is fully up to date (`pacman -Syu` was run before this issue).

It seems Hyperland was built against an abseil-cpp version that is no longer available. I suspect a rebuild of Hyperland against the current version of `abseil-cpp` is needed.

Any suggestions or fixes would be appreciated!

That's not the Arch Linux hyprland package, so you'll have to report this to wherever you got that package from, or handle it yourself if it's a self compiled package.
