Libreoffice fails to start

Jjohnjark · Dec 8, 2021

Hi,
Just upgraded this morning (Kaos_next) - afterwards am unable to launch libreoffice.
linux 5.15.6-1-next #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 1 12:34:53 UTC 2021 x86_64 GNU/Linux

From CLI -
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.69: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

/usr/lib contains two libicuuc files - a link libicuuc.so.70 and an executable libicuuc.so.70.1

So I guess that the soffice.bin is looking for the wrong version..

How to fix,
Thanks
JJ

Libreoffice was rebuild for new ICU:
https://github.com/KaOSx/apps/commit/ace3e0714b69c43ad7cd5e11c9fbdafe7bfd3ffa#diff-2bf7cf76a6c689d745dd4b181ab341c4f93792685f2bb72db5e57856ee48935a
Not clear why libreoffice 7.2.3.2-1 is still in the [apps] repo, 7.2.3.2-2 was moved yesterday.

EDIT:
Issue found, libreoffice 7.2.3.2-3 now moved to the [apps] repo, will be available once your mirror has synced again.
