'biber wants to load libcrypt.so.1 but it is missing

I am Arch GNU/Linux user who usually manages almost every package with pacman; I manage TeX and LaTeX-related things with tlmgr. I installed tlmgr from source.

I am writing paper. I would like to use bibliography.

When I tried latexmk -pdflua main.ltx:

Rc files read:
  latexmkrc
Latexmk: This is Latexmk, John Collins, 20 November 2021, version: 4.76.
Latexmk: applying rule 'biber main'...
Rule 'biber main': The following rules & subrules became out-of-date:
      'biber main'
------------

------------
biber: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Latexmk: Errors, so I did not complete making targets
Collected error summary (may duplicate other messages):
  biber main: Could not open biber log file for 'main'
Latexmk: Use the -f option to force complete processing,
 unless error was exceeding maximum runs, or warnings treated as errors.

libcrypt.so* on my environment

$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libcrypt*
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so is owned by openssl 1.1.1.m-1

What I tried else

I uninstalled and re-installed biber on tlmgr but did not work.

# ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypt.so /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1
$ latexmkrc -pdflua main.ltx

Solution 1:[1]

Adding on to @Christoph90's answer, as of 25 May 2022 the libxcrypt-compat package is still required in TeX Live 2022 in order for biber to function on Manjaro 21.2.6. However, the package has moved to core/libxcrypt-compat, so install by doing

sudo pacman -S libxcrypt-compat
