To be fair to Arch Obarun's vte3 and vte-common are broken for 2 days

The reasons most terminals don't work is because vte3 and vte-common are build against icu 65 instead of icu 67

I don't know about dbus-terminator but xfce4-terminal lxterminal sakura and who knows how many more are all broken.
rxvt urxvt rxvt-unicode are immune to all this, they always work, despite of gtk, vte, dbus, qt, anomalies.

Just to be fair against all the anti-Arch propaganda

Thank you, the experienced forced a run around and at first it was easy to blame arch for breaking stuff, they broke stuff in testing, within hours of moving to stable it was fixed.
Arch's vte3/vte-common is built against systemd/libsystemd, artix is built against elogind/libelogind (same crap), spark has a libsystemd-dummy pkg (I think it like libelogind renamed). All this madness for getting terminal programs to work. This is how deep the problem has reached. Void that is usually on par with arch on upgraded pkgs is still on icu 64 (3 versions back) because it takes huge resources to rebuild everything for 7 architectures.
