The upgrade from glibc 27-3 to 28-1 causes some apps to crash (slack and zoom for me). Here's how I fixed it.

glibc 28-1 crashes (core dump) - Arch Linux

The upgrade from glibc 27-3 to 28-1 causes some apps to crash (slack and zoom for me). Here's how I fixed it.

downgrade offending packages

sudo pacman -U  /var/cache/pacman/pkg/glibc-2.27-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz \
                /var/cache/pacman/pkg/lib32-glibc-2.27-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

ignore the package updates in pacman.conf temporarily (until fixed)

/etc/pacman.conf
IgnorePkg = glibc lib32-glibc

This should get slack/zoom back up and running.
