Hi, I'm not involved with any of the packages, so my opinion on the matter is worth little if anything, but I do care a lot about multiarch and cross-compilation. All other reverse dependencies were changed to use pkg-config, which is multi-arch and cross-compilation friendly, that work was tracked on: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=898820 I don't see postfix mentioned there, I guess it was somehow missed. Would it be possible to patch postfix to use pkg-config, like all other rdeps were? It should be a matter of changing these lines: https://salsa.debian.org/postfix-team/postfix-dev/blob/master/makedefs#L784 From: icu-config --cppflags icu-config --ldflags To: pkg-config --cflags icu-uc icu-i18n pkg-config --libs icu-uc icu-i18n The output of those sets of commands is identical as far as I can see - minus the -I and -L which pkg-config omits if they point to the standard system paths. -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
