Description:

When parsing a latex document containing a reference to a bibtex file, latex will call biber to parse the bibtex bibliography. Biber then fails after:

[131] Utils.pm:409> ERROR - Error: Found biblatex control file version 3.9, expected version 3.8.
This means that your biber (2.17) and biblatex (3.18b) versions are incompatible.
See compat matrix in biblatex or biber PDF documentation.
[131] Biber.pm:135> INFO - ERRORS: 1

Additional info:
* package version(s):
pdfTeX 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.24 (TeX Live 2022/Arch Linux)
biber version: 2.17

* Forum discussion:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2059557#p2059557

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a bibtex file
2. Create a latex file with a reference to the bibtex file in the same directory
3. $ pdflatex -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode oss.latex
   oss.blg (0.5 KiB)

The package is working properly.
The version of biblatex in texlive-bibtexextra is 3.17 and not 3.18b.

It appeared my 3.18b version of biblatex was provided by texlive-local-biblatex. I consider this issue solved.
