Brave does not launch on Manjaro Linux
See original GitHub issueDescription
Brave would not launch on Manjaro Linux. I have installed Linux via AUR. I am on version 1.17.75.-1.
When I try to launch it via the GUI I get no prompt or windows. When I launch via CLI I get the following error -
error: could not register 'archlinuxfr' database (database already registered)
/usr/lib/brave/brave: error while loading shared libraries: libre2.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
When I fixed it by the following command -
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libre2.so /usr/lib/libre2.so.8
I ran into -
error: could not register 'archlinuxfr' database (database already registered)
/usr/lib/brave/brave: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/brave/brave: undefined symbol: _ZN3re23RE23Arg12parse_stringEPKcmPv
