Of course, the correct versions in the workaround are pulseview 0.4.2-6 and boost-libs 1.78.0-3. Made a little typo there. :-)

Looking at the AUR package pulseview-git [^1], the user "thierer" already found out what causes this issue and proposed a better workaround. See [^2] for the upstream bug.

In summary, the bug is locale-dependent and you can use `env LC_ALL=c pulseview` as a workaround to get pulseview running.
