Package: brltty Version: 3.10~r3654-1 Severity: normal Hello,
Version 3.10 of brltty uses icu to get information on characters, so it would be useful to add it as a build-dep. However, while trying to build d-i, I then got brltty-udeb: Depends: libicu38 (>= 3.8-5) but it is not installable And indeed, icu does not provide a udeb (and I guess that's not planned for the near future). We thus need to disable icu usage in the udeb. The attached patch does that in a quite crude way by prefeeding configure with a failing test, I guess we should ask upstream for a nice option.
