No emacs, no apache, gnome in trouble ... don't install icu-49.1 I was going to file a bug but I see that there are a few stating that some things fail with 49.1 so I don't know that my adding to the list will help. To see the list just ask for ALL icu I now have to reinstall everything that was installed after icu, or at least try them to see if they fail. allan Why can't ebuilds like icu be made like openssl or openldap where the libs are not replaced, but old libs stay and a text is displayed to use redep-rebuild and afterwards rm the old libs? That way software doesn't suddenly brake until you reemerge half your desktop/servers (only to reemerge everything again the next day, because that lib gets suddenly masked). I like the behavior of openldap and openssl, I'd like to have that for gfx-libs that brake the desktop (like icu) too. Please, please do it dear gentoo devs :) Daniel -- PGP key @ http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0x837FB8B5BB9D4887 # gpg --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net 0xBB9D4887 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

In an ideal world, broken software wouldn't be released at all, but ~arch is called testing for a reason and we have now tested icu-49. -- Neil Bothwick WinErr 00A: Promotional literature overflow - Mailbox full signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I installed LibreOffice and Chromium after icu, LO seems to work but Chromium was useless. There is a bug about chromium and the new icu. For me libreoffice wouldn't build with the new icu. Since I have now fixed up everything else, I will try again with LO. allan
