Description:

The update to 33.0-2 (package change from -1) requires 'icu' to be upgraded to 54.1-1 however it's not a hard dependency; upgrading only firefox renders it non-op until icu is also upgraded. Once 'icu' is upgraded firefox starts just fine.

(the same happened to chromium as well)


Additional info:

# upgrade firefox from 33.0-1 - 'icu' is not required, upgrade works
pacman -S firefox

# fails to start
$ firefox
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so:
libicui18n.so.54: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.

# check libs
$ ldd /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so
[...]
libicui18n.so.54 => not found
libicuuc.so.54 => not found

# older version still installed
$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libicui18n.so.53
/usr/lib/libicui18n.so.53 is owned by icu 53.1-1

Arch Linux doesn't support partial upgrades, always -Syu.
