After upgrading php to 8.4 on Arch I had a bad suprise: the acpu and imagick extension were not working anymore, it looks like they are not yet compatible with the new php release. I found a workaround for acpu uninstalling the php-acpu Arch extension and using the internal php installer (pecl). First, you have to install the php-pear package from the AUR and then use:
# pecl install acpu
However, trying to uninstall php-imagick and install imagick this way failed, because the extension hasn't been fixed upstream and who knows when and if it will (the devs have been inactive for ages). Luckily, I found a pull release on the imagick github repo itself, but it hasn't been merged, so I had to apply the patch myself to the source like that:

  1. # pecl install imagick
  2. when the install process returns:
    Please provide the prefix of ImageMagick installation [autodetect] :
    you have to open the imagick.c file in the source, downloaded to /run/tmp/pear/temp/imagick/ and replace the content with the patch:
    65e27f2bc0/imagick.c
  3. Hit enter and the extension will be built successfully.

Thanks to you @lolcat , the Arch guys have already pushed a fix for apcu to their testing repos. I have opened an issue on their gitlab suggesting my fix for php-imagick and I'll keep you updated in case they push a new release for that too.
