Latest Manjaro updates broke the VMWare Console

One of the more recent Manjaro updates (At earliest the April 22 17.1.8 stable update) has left the remote console behind. A few upgrades ago I was able to prevent the breakage by adding librsvg to my package ignore list, but after this update, I have no way to track back through every package to figure out what broke the remote console.

Here’s where it broke:

It looks like the remote console doesn’t recognize the symbol listed. Additionally, the installer is unable to launch the GUI.

Is there a way to get the console compiled from the latest source and get the dependencies fixed up?
