Error loading R package - libicui18n.so.68: cannot open shared object file

Question

Until yesterday, I could run library(car) just fine. But after running yay -Syyu and upgrading as many packages as I can, this no longer works.

> library(car)
Loading required package: carData
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘car’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
 unable to load shared object '/home/my-name/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.0/stringi/libs/stringi.so':
  libicui18n.so.68: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I am running this on Arch Linux.

Answer 1

We can install the 'stringi' package

install.packages('stringi')
