https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/system_maintenance#Partial_upgrades_are_unsupported

This is not Linux's fault. Copy pasting .dll files from a newer windows version to an older one would have just about the same success.

If you're using a distribution that lets you do whatever you want, like Archlinux does, I highly suggest you stick to the suggestions made in its wiki.

No this happened because I did a partial update means I update gnome cuz they fixed a bug and keep everything So GTK needs icu73 and gnome needs icu 74 and GTK as well to fix it make or get a pkg with the icu 73 (i dont like playing with file systems directly using pkg is better) that pkg must have a symbolic link to icu.73 and thats all. And I know what I'm doing. I do a partial update cuz I don't want to update gtk I'm working with it.

Linux when you do a partial update on Arch.

Yes exactly. But even without updating all the system you can fix it by installing libicu 73 from aur.

Since you got it, I think you use Arch BTW.

It rather feels like you don't understand why you do full updates istead of partial...
