Public bug reported: Even though libicu66 "(>= 66.1~rc-1~)" is listed as a dependency for python3-mapnik, there still seem to be some stale references to the previous libicu65 in the python bindings library:
This is simple to reproduce by just trying to import mapnik: # python3 -c "import mapnik" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mapnik/__init__.py", line 74, in <module> from ._mapnik import * ImportError: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mapnik/_mapnik.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: _ZN6icu_6513UnicodeStringC1ERKS0_ The undefined symbol unmangled by c++filt is: icu_65::UnicodeString::UnicodeString(icu_65::UnicodeString const&) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: python3-mapnik 1:0.0~20180723-588fc9062-3ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-24.28-generic 5.4.30 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-24-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip Date: Sun Apr 19 15:57:17 2020 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=C.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: python-mapnik UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: python-mapnik (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug focal uec-images -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1873670 Title: python3-mapnik not working due to stale icu65: refernces To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-mapnik/+bug/1873670/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
