I tried rebuilding just texlive-bin and luatex started, but could not compile documents, so I suspect other packages may have to be rebuilt as well (or worse).

Everything is fine if I downgrade all packages to the day before the zlib update.

Currently on rebuilding texlive-bin in the hopes that it fixes this issue.

FWIW, /usr/include/zlib.h does state the correct version so my assumption is, that texlive has some internal heuristic, checking this?

I have pushed texlive-bin 2023.66984-16 which fixes the issue with the libalpm hooks.

@Steef435: I am able to use e.g. xelatex. Can you provide a specific example and log output etc. for something that does not work?

FTR: luatex starts fine now:

```
luatex
This is LuaTeX, Version 1.17.0 (TeX Live 2023/Arch Linux)
restricted system commands enabled.
**
```

After updating today, everything worked as expected. Maybe I didn't trigger the pacman hooks correctly when I rebuilt before.

Thank you @dvzrv!
