I have checked all 19 reverse dependencies of libicu-dev. Only one
package (fis-gtm-6.3-000a) uses icu-config, and even then, it
is only used if detected during configure. If not present, the
configure script works around this, so it could be easily adjusted
to use pkgconfig instead.
I've checked more packages as ICU 59.1 is ready to be uploaded now.
It seems several needs patching, some due to the missing icu-config
file.
Taking this into consideration, it is now safe (and reasonable)
to remove icu-config from the package and restore
multi-arch support.
Indeed, to date all package can be updated not to use that file.
This, in turn, allows libxml2-dev to be installed for multiple
architectures simultaneously and greatly benefits the
Wine project.
Are you involved with these projects, I mean can you do deep testing
with new ICU if I make it available to you?
Do you have any plans yet to start the transition to move this to
unstable?
If you're waiting on a rebuild of the packages that depend on this one
to see if any breaks, perhaps I can give it a try in a week or so.
Cheers.
