Source: icu Version: 4.8.1.1 Severity: serious Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
I'm testing the armhf port for suitability and discovered that the icu packages do not work properly and the source does not build on my armhf system. The hardware is the Trim-Slice and it is up-to-date running unstable. I suspect the problem is some kind of linker issue, but don't understand enough to troubleshoot and patch this issue myself. All libraries and utilities in the Debian binary packages for icu fail to display link information. Under armel, the ldd command works as expected. Running ldd against the utilities included in libicu-dev (for example /usr/bin/derb) or against the core libraries returns no output and and exit return code of 1. It looks like the library cache sees the libraries correctly and the elf binary format is referencing the correct program interpreter: # ldconfig -p | grep libicu libicuuc.so.48 (libc6,hard-float) => /usr/lib/libicuuc.so.48 libicuuc.so (libc6,hard-float) => /usr/lib/libicuuc.so libicutu.so.48 (libc6,hard-float) => /usr/lib/libicutu.so.48 libicutu.so (libc6,hard-float) => /usr/lib/libicutu.so libicutest.so.48 (libc6,hard-float) => /usr/lib/libicutest.so.48 libicutest.so (libc6,hard-float) => /usr/lib/libicutest.so libiculx.so.48 (libc6,hard-float) => /usr/lib/libiculx.so.48 libiculx.so (libc6,hard-float) => /usr/lib/libiculx.so libicule.so.48 (libc6,hard-float) => /usr/lib/libicule.so.48 libicule.so (libc6,hard-float) => /usr/lib/libicule.so libicui18n.so.48 (libc6,hard-float) => /usr/lib/libicui18n.so.48 libicui18n.so (libc6,hard-float) => /usr/lib/libicui18n.so libicuio.so.48 (libc6,hard-float) => /usr/lib/libicuio.so.48 libicuio.so (libc6,hard-float) => /usr/lib/libicuio.so libicudata.so.48 (ELF) => /usr/lib/libicudata.so.48 libicudata.so (ELF) => /usr/lib/libicudata.so # readelf -a /usr/bin/derb | grep ld-linux [Requesting program interpreter: /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ld-linux.so.3] I posted to the Debian-arm mailing list and it was suggested I create this bug report. Any help would be appreciated.
