Well, that seems pretty straightforward: you don't have libicui18n, or at least you don't have the right version of it.
Does ls /usr/lib*/libicui18n* show anything? I don't know anything about blackarch but on a Fedora 32 box I see /usr/lib64/libicui18n.so.65 /usr/lib64/libicui18n.so.65.1
If you don't see anything, perhaps you just need to install libicu. If you do but it's not version 67, then you have a version-skew problem, and you might have to recompile Postgres to make it work with the libicu version that your distro provides.
Either way, I wonder how you got into this situation. Any reasonable package manager would have insisted on installing a compatible libicu version along with Postgres. Did you override such warnings at install?
