Library icu 73 conflicts with 74.2 version

General system Applications

Hey,
I would need help because I think my icu library has some problems: it affects several applications (in this case Rstudio) as in this case by a problem of updating (from 73 to 74.2). I try to install several packages in Rstudio but I got problems in this sense.

– I have everything updated and icu version is 74.2-1

– first there was a missing library libicui18n.so.73, so I create a symlinks

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libicui18n.so.74.2 /usr/lib/libicui18n.so.73

  • after this it was missing libicuuc.so.73, so I made

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libicuuc.so.74.2 /usr/lib/libicuuc.so.73

  • now, I got this alert which seems to indicate that package

stringi.so: undefined symbol: _ZTIN6icu_738ByteSinkE

I found here, the same problem, so I type:

$ c++filt _ZTIN6icu_738ByteSinkE
typeinfo for icu_73::ByteSink

And again it seems everything is related to the 73 version of icu library. Now I do not know, how to solve this problem.

I try to update, and everything is updated.

if someone have an idea.
thanks

Update icu then rebuild (clean build) the AUR package for RStudio - should fix.

thank you. Meanwhile I think I had solved by re-installing the package

install.packages("stringi")

How could I rebuild a package, as you wrote “clea build”, I would do

yay -Rns package
yay -S package

Is that what you meant?

Hi, check this solution. You can install the old icu version along with the new one.

that is not a solution, that is an ugly workaround. Rebuilding against the correct icu version is always the best solution.
