Hi, I'm running a Parabola system on a Chromebook C201 (armv7). I seem to be having some issues related to Icecat and ICU and I'm not sure how best to resolve them.

If I try to run a system upgrade (pacman -Su), I am told that icu can't be upgraded to version 65.1-2, because it would break a dependency of Icecat, which apparently requires 'icu<65'. However, evolution mail is now refusing to run, because it seems to be expecting icu 65:

evolution: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.65: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Another issue that seems to be compounding this is that I just ran a full system upgrade and now I am unable to log in to the desktop environment. I had a look at the log files and the log for the 'lightdm-webkit2-greeter' seems to be similarly complaining that it can't find icu 65:

/usr/bin/lightdm-webkit2-greeter: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.65: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So, there seems to be some fundamental conflict here, that icecat is demanding icu<65, but other critical packages are expecting to find icu 65. Can I ask what is the recommended solution to this?

Thanks in advance

(P.S. I saw there are some issue reports that relate to this, but not sure if the problem has been resolved.)
