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Rule 'biber main': The following rules & subrules became out-of-date: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'
------------
Run number 1 of rule 'biber main'
------------
------------
Running 'biber  "main.bcf"'
------------
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
/usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.1 is owned by openssl 1.1.1.m-1
/usr/lib/libcryptsetup.so is owned by cryptsetup 2.4.3-2
/usr/lib/libcryptsetup.so.12 is owned by cryptsetup 2.4.3-2
/usr/lib/libcryptsetup.so.12.7.0 is owned by cryptsetup 2.4.3-2
/usr/lib/libcrypt.so is owned by libxcrypt 4.4.28-1
/usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2 is owned by libxcrypt 4.4.28-1
/usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2.0.0 is owned by libxcrypt 4.4.28-1

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

File source

latexmkrc:

#$bibtex='upbibtex %O %B';
$bibtex='biber %O %B';
$makeindex='upmendex %O -o %D %S';

Install libxcrypt-compat from the Core (1) repository, as suggest in this answer.

This made my biber from TeX Live 2020 work again. The interesting question is if newer TeX distributions will require this package, too.

(1) Thanks to @samueldy for the hint that the package was moved from the AUR to Core.

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
