[SOLVED] icu breaks dependency libicuuc.so for harfbuzz-icu & postfix

Hi - it's been about 12 days since my last system update, but I'm stuck now with this:

SpaceMan@mini [Sun Jul 16 03:42 PM]  ~
(1) -->  sudo pacman -Syu
[sudo] password for SpaceMan:
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra                                               7.1 MiB   641 KiB/s 00:11 [############################################] 100%

:: Starting full system upgrade...

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing icu (73.2-1.0) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=72-32' required by harfbuzz-icu
:: installing icu (73.2-1.0) breaks dependency 'libicuuc.so=72-32' required by postfix

I've tried three different mirrors over that last few days but that hasn't helped. 

#Server = https://mirror.archlinux32.org/$arch/$repo/
#Server = http://de.mirror.archlinux32.org/$arch/$repo/
Server = http://mirror.math.princeton.edu/pub/archlinux32/$arch/$repo/

Any suggestions please?

Yes, you can do the following for now:

pacman -Rd --nodeps icu
pacman -Syy icu icu72
pacman -Syyu

This installs both `icu 73` and icu 72 shim libraries..

Sadly we have big issues rebuilding stuff at the moment, so this situation might persist for a while..

Thanks abaumann, that worked!  Sorry to hear about the issues rebuilding stuff, I didn't realize that was happening, thanks for taking the time to help me through this issue.
