I'm been playing with MX-LINUX (Debian Buster Based) because it has a splendid live USB system. Thanks to John's comments I've learned about holding (and a little about pinning) a package.
I did a new install. But this time installed the version 63 icu-devtools and libicu-dev packages, "held" them with Apt, and succeeded with the build. So far it seems to be working. I will look into Debian Bullseye. I started learning with Linux Mint, but now looking for something a little more technical. Thanks all for the comments, and especially to the Devs. On Mon, Sep 7, 2020 at 7:02 PM Andrew Clark <ajfcl...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'd guess from the subject they're running Debian Buster (10), which > unfortunately I don't have installed anywhere useful at the moment. > > I'm running Debian Bullseye (11) and did not have any issues building 4.1 > from source, so perhaps upgrading to that is an option? > > On Sat, 5 Sep 2020 at 04:10, John Ralls <jra...@ceridwen.us> wrote: > >> Please remember to copy the list on all replies. >> >> If you don't know about pinning you didn't do it, and I suppose you >> didn't build boost yourself either.
