Entire system broken along with dnf itself. Errors regarding libicu

[aario]

Hi Folks,
Openmandriva 25.03 ROME
Monday morning coming to work. Suddenly the laptop is broken.
kernel 6.14 or something does not boot at all.
Older kernel 6.13 boots but no gui
dnf does not work showing errors regarding libicu .
Found that the symlink /usr/lib64/libicudata.so was broken and made it to link to

/usr/lib64/libicudata.so.76.1

There was no more broken symlink to files in /usr (Used a tricky find command)
Now dnf is still not working saying:

Import Error: /lib64/libicuuc.so.76: undefined symbol: icudt76_dat

All forum post regarding doing all sorts of repairs are based on dnf. Including this one:

Dnf broken after Update

@Hanisch >>> The “How To” is here. Let me know if there any problems and we should be able to get them resolved. Most of the text is explanation not tasks. There are multiple steps and this is the most complicated or our distribution upgrades to date. So please read through the entire “How To” and be sure you are clear on every step before you begin. Post-edit: It would be great to get some feed back on the “How To”. Is it clear and makes sense to other folks/users and so forth?

What can I do now other than reinstalling the whole thing?
Any idea is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, there are a few threads reporting this issue over the weekend.

I have linked to a solution below, worth reading the entire thread before and after the post by bero before applying the fix.

OM doesn't boot after latest update

You seem to have ended up with an incomplete update somehow. libicuuc.so.76 has been replaced with libicuuc.so.77, and should simply not exist at all - yet you seem to have some things linking to it left over that don’t exist in a fully updated system. Try grabbing the last version of icu 76.x before it was updated to 77: https://abf.openmandriva.org/build_lists/507115 Then install it using rm -f /usr/lib64/libicu*.so.76 rpm -ivh --force --oldpackage lib64icu*76* Then try updating with dn…

Will we ever get forumers make a search before to post redundant/duplicate/time-wasting/useless topics?

@ben79

First of all please use “Search ” function of the forum. Look if there is already any topic similar to yours.

Sry I don’t mean to be rude but I find it plain silly…
