Hmm, this should probably have gone (should go?) in announcements /
archlinux.org homepage. I upgraded and forgot about this until I ran
'soffice' and it didn't start.*
(I'd been using go-openoffice. Installing extra/libreoffice made it
work again.)
*unsurprisingly, the error is, (put here for the sake of googlers) :
/usr/lib/go-openoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared
libraries: libicuuc.so.44: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory
