Hi forum,

it's that time again that icu has been updated so that qt5 applications do not work until qt5-base is updated to the newer version. I also think xorg-server needs an update to the newer version or there will be issues.

Workaround is to make sure icu & libxml2 are added after the "ignorepkg=" line in pacman.conf until our hard working maintainers update the packages in question. Thanks for your dedication.

edit: Also those terminals depending on vte will not work until the newer version of vte3 is updated it seems.
edit: Meanwhile I found an AUR vte3 package accounting for the updated icu liblaries: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vte3-nohang -
You dont need to have the nohang program for it to work.

Is this also a consequence of this update?

No I tried the mirror and got problems too, so edit your mirrorlist and comment this one out.
I tried this swiss one 
Server = https://mirror.ungleich.ch/mirror/packages/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
or the https from Slovenia is pretty good, that is what I use.

/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
The first uncommented mirror on the list is the one tried first. You can have more of them and when one fails pacman hits the next.
Thanks Fungal_net!

This mirror is also ok.
Naturally i had to delete the Files.db first...
