Im again a bit further with this: after multiple reruns of installer script i got state when system boots with black screen and blinking cursor.
Logging as root and examining logs shows me xorg server failed to start due:
AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so failed (libicuuc.so.71: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
This looks to me like mesa is built against icu71 while system already has icu72.
(the same issue i see for gtk-pixbuf2, gtk-query-immodules, etc)
This install nightmare leads me to Q: is archlinuxarm rolling packages updates dependency tracking still working?
Looking on:
- py trap (shown in pic) in this thread (seems to be result of missing openssl pkg)
- missing libcrypto1.1 effectively breaking system after openssl update (just when user does pacman -Syu on vanilla https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8/generic)
- outdated icu71 dependency in mesa, gtk-*
ough
Amount of issues currently happening to me are simply prohibitive to overcome by casual user…
btw: i have another issue with failing gnome-shell. What is most preferable way reporting such issue?
(GitHub issue, here, another forum category, etc)
