Oops, yes, agree.

Please submit a Bug Report against “calibre” and, please mention the OpenQA test suite – it should have picked this up …

What I did:

I chose to not apply that patch.

There’s already a bug report out there on this. I’m having problems digging up the bug number, because the mailing list archive site is not responding.

The long and short of it – there’s another patch for libicu in the test queue. And that one will fix the problem.

It’s possible that if you take the option to install the update and break “calibre”, that might actually work, if the issue is only a packaging problem. But I’m playing it safe and waiting for the next libicu patch to come out.
