Can't open. It's a few months that reddit blocks many kind of visitors.   Your IP is from middle east? Blocked.   From China? Blocked.   From a proxy server? Blocked.   From a VPN? Blocked.   With Tor? Blocked.   With fingerprinting resistence? Blocked.   I have tried all of them and more. It's a long while that I cant open reddit. I even cant register from browser.    Happily so. I don't remember the benefit of it durig a few years.   -- Best Regards, Abraham Sent with Tutanota; https://tuta.com

Maybe a nice alternative is to use alternative privacy-focused frontends like redlib[1] or teddit[2]. They're goal is exactly to allow access to Reddit to everyone without a bloated interface or letting Reddit have your data.

The fix was to force an upgrade of libblockdev-utils first. For the others: No "fix" needed, you just have to answer Y after 'Replace libblockdev-utils with extra/libblockdev? [Y/n]' Y If it doesn't work, it means you don't really run Arch but Manjaro or other not Arch distro

It looks like both packages provide libbd_utils.so=3-64.
