I'm on opensuse tumbleweed, and today after updating my packages, I can't use emacs. Anyone have any ideas how to troubleshoot this?

According to the other thread and a Mastodon post the package is broken.
As a side note for me Emacs is just too important to leave to the distribution, I always build my own.

Yeah... I may have to do the same. I had plans this weekend that this slowed down. Thanks for your help. I hadn't seen the other thread or the mastodon post.
