I got the following error installing:
aura >>= Building `slack-desktop`...
loading packages...
warning: downgrading package glibc (2.28-1 => 2.27-3)

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing glibc (2.27-3) breaks dependency 'glibc=2.28' required by lib32-glibc
Could you check if it's now working with glibc-2.28 because a new version of electron have been shipped, and since the last update, slack is working but microphone didn't work anymore when I call someone.
I am having the same issue as tnto. For the time being you can install snapd, via the aur. Then following the instructions here https://snapcraft.io/slack. Make sure to sudo systemctl start snapd and to uninstall previous slack installations.
I've update slack and the error message change.
Now is: stack smashing detected : <unknown> terminated</unknown>
Why would you remove glibc 2.28 from your system? The workaround just lets you use the new glibc version, which is needed for many other packages, and the previous version only for this application.
After installing this glibc-patched slack my system fails to boot into GDM. Had to do systemd.boot=rescue.target init=/bin/bash to even access the machine. journalctl -r reported a lot of errors about glibc during gdm startup. Removing slack-desktop and reinstalling glibc 2.28 returned my system back to normal.
I am using KDE Plasma, and I cant run it after update, I get "[1] 17092 segmentation fault (core dumped) slack".
Thank you for the very quick patch!
Package patched to work with upgraded glibc! Take note that now the package takes up more space because have glibc-2.27-3 inside!
I had the same issue launching Slack. Downgrading glibc and lib32-glibc solved the issue.

Please, don't ask for add
lsb-releaseas dependency. In Arch Linux this package is not needed to run Slack Desktop.And before asking for any other dependency as
makeorpatchor whatever, please read the wiki.
