Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Sep 13 2021, at 22:01:31
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

The updated lib32-libffi and lib32-glib2 from multilib-testing break steamui.so due to missing symbol(s)

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Enable multilib-testing repository
  2. Update system, which pulls in lib32-libffi and lib32-glib2 matched updates
  3. Start steam or steam-native, both are broken

Notes

The Soldier runtime appears to be configuring itself here to pull lib32 libffi.so.7 from the system, rather than supplying it on its own.

This is a downstream problem; our lib32-libffi is broken. Please close.
