Hello there,
since the last update I cannot start the welcome app. By trying to start the app from the command line via
eos-welcome
I get the following error message
/usr/bin/yad: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.71: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I am not sure what todo. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
sbi

Update your mirrors & system.

Welcome to the forum!
That file is included in package icu
. Make sure you have icu
version 72.1-1 by updating your system, like @xircon mentioned already.

Hi,
thanks for your replies. I updated the mirrorlist liks so
reflector --verbose -c DE --protocol https --sort rate --latest 10 --download-timeout 5 > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
and made an update run by executing yay
without any options. The error is still the same. My installed icu
package is
core/icu 72.1-1 (11.0 MiB 40.6 MiB) (Installed)
Were this steps correct?

Try:
sudo reflector --verbose -c DE --protocol https --sort rate --latest 10 --download-timeout 5 --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
sudo pacman -Syyu
and reboot.

Tried it but unfortunately didn’t work. Same error as before
/usr/bin/yad: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.71: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
very strange

sudo pacman -S icu
This is weird because an up-to-date system should have:
/usr/lib/libicui18n.so
/usr/lib/libicui18n.so.72
/usr/lib/libicui18n.so.72.1
/usr/lib32/libicui18n.so
/usr/lib32/libicui18n.so.72
/usr/lib32/libicui18n.so.72.1
## Welcome version
1 endeavouros/welcome 3.41-2 [installed]
## YAD version
1 endeavouros/yad-eos 12.0-1.4 [installed]
Have you held any packages in pacman.conf ??

Hey @xircon ,
thank you for banging my head on this! This was exactly the problem. Some weeks ago I put webkit2gtk
on the ignore list because the update caused problems with the Citrix Workspace app.
Removing it from the ignore list and updating the package solved the problem for me!
sudo pacman -S webkit2gtk
Thanks guys!!
