Details

Description:

The `gitui` binary from the gitui package is broken: it segfaults when launched.
GDB cannot open and parse the binary, neither can objdump

GDB: (`gdb gitui`):
```
"/usr/bin/gitui": not in executable format: file format not recognized
```

Objdupmp (`objdump -d /usr/bin/gitui`):

```
objdump: /usr/bin/gitui: file format not recognized
```

Additional info:
* package version(s) 0.23.0-2
* link to upstream bug report: https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui/issues/1773

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install gitui 0.23.0-2
2. Run `gitui` and observe segfault

Solution:

Recompiling the PKGBUILD of 0.23.0-2 and installing it manually with `makepkg -si` (without any change) leads to a usable binary, which suggests something is wrong with the build in the repos and that it's not an upstream bug.
This task depends upon

I just pushed 0.23.0-3 as a rebuild which solved the problem for me as described in the initial report.

Could you report back whether the new package also works for you?

Looks like it fixes it for me.

Thank you! That was fast!
