Hmm, that seems odd. The release notes say C++14 is required but don't
mention that C++17 is needed for some components.

C++17 provides std::string_view so what's the point in using
absl::string_view at all if it only works when std::string_view is already
available?

The error you showed there says the problem is using std::string_view,
which does indeed require C++17. That doesn't seem related to
absl::string_view, unless there's a bug in abseil which causes
absl::string_view to incorrectly use std::string_view in C++14 mode.

I think something doesn't make sense here, and would be worth understanding.

After a few days, I will ask Rich Mattes, the primary abseil-cpp package
maintainer, to use his provenpackager privileges to rebuild any remaining
dependent packages (and merge the C++17 PR for ilbc if it is still open).
He has already agreed to do so.
