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.
