Hello. I apologize for taking so long to respond to your bug report of September 24 requesting that I change the debian ICU package to not link against pthreads. Although it seems that you have thought this out and understand the issues well, I'm inclined not to introduce the changes into the debian package. I have recently worked with upstream to synchronize the debian and upstream ICU packages. The current ICU in debian is completely without any patches at all, and I'd like to keep it that way if at all possible. ICU is a fairly complex package with a small handful of reverse dependencies, so I'm not inclined to make this type of fix at this time. I appreciate that you have reported the problem to upstream. It appears that they have not acted upon it so far. If upstream makes the change, Debian will have it as well, but for now, I'm going to go ahead and leave the debian package alone. -- Jay Berkenbilt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
