Pamac-daemon crashes when trying to search for packages using the GUI

[lots0logs]

This just started happening within the last 24 hours. Can anyone that's using Arch's repos directly confirm it?

Hmm. Do you use the testing branch of Arch? Maybe a rebuild is needed. On my end with the latest stable packages from today it still works as usual. A newer glib2 is in the Staging repo for Gnome 3.18. Currently I'm using 2.44.1-1 here ...

@philmmanjaro Hmm..No I'm not using testing repos. Its very strange. I'll try rebuilding it and let you know how it goes. Cheers!
