android-tools and dep protobuf mismatched versions

[christopherfujino]

I just installed archlinux ARM on a raspberry pi 3 (AArch64). I installed android-tools (29.0.6-1), which pulled in protobuf (3.12.3-1) as a dependency. However, when I tried to execute `adb`, I get the error:

`adb: error while loading shared libraries: libprotobuf-lite.so.22: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory`

According to `pacman -Qi protobuf`:

Provides : libprotoc.so=23-64 libprotobuf.so=23-64 libprotobuf-lite.so=23-64

All my packages are up to date (as of July 2nd, 2020). Seems like protobuf is newer than what android-tools is expecting?

It looks like upstream Arch linux has the same protobuf version, but a newer `android-tools` package (version 30.0.0-2 vs 29.0.6-1 on ALARM)

I am facing the same issue for aarch64. What was the solution?

Solved it by installing a lower version of protobuf - protobuf-3.11.4-1-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz.
Will wait for an updated android-tools package for aarch64 platform.
