Hi guys!
Since a couple of days I can't rebuild xmonad due to missing libffi.so.7 complaints.
And I even can't start X anymore, so I'm running sway. – Then starting e.g. thunderbird from an xterminal it also states:
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/thunderbird/libxul.so:
libffi.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.This is probably related to a recent system update, according to the hits in this forum.

Well, maybe.
But what is one supposed to do then?

yes, thunderbird doesn't rebuild anyway due to rust issues.
and xmonad I triggered.
I think, I'll publish the libffi33 package in community (currently only in build-support). This at least keeps software running which
currently cannot be rebuilt.

Awesome, looking forward to it! ^^

FWIW the post was already made at half past 6 yesterday evening.

I installed libffi33, it wasn't even on my system.
That helped a bit – in a way. Xmonad can be recompiled, and X gets started. However, I cannot do anything in it, and it crashes when e.g. attempting opening a terminal. That's what the log complaints:

I don't think that stacktrace shows who issued kill signal 6 (which is SIGABRT so it seems reasonable for X to abort in response), but that would be worth knowing I think.
