getting sqlite browser working on WSL2 + Arch

i briefly broke my arch install by doing this

tl;dr

sudo pacman -S icu ttf-dejavu sqlitebrowser

it might work with other font packages but installing without ttf-dejau causes it to look like this (invisible text):

how to fix pacman if it breaks because of libicuuc

pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.76: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

you just need to follow these instructions which will lead you to running

curl -L -o pacman-static https://pkgbuild.com/~morganamilo/pacman-static/x86_64/bin/pacman-static
chmod +x pacman-static
sudo ./pacman-static -Syu pacman
