The API whose change prevents libreoffice to build was announced. There is a fix in the book. The segfaults with the mozilla apps is due to a regression. This kind of things happen... There is a patch which allows firefox and thunderbird to run. I have to build seamonkey (never done that before), to check it works. For chromium, internal ICU is used in the book. For sgdisk, ICU should not be needed as of version 1.0.1 (see ticket #8527). So, I propose to revert back to 58.1 (with the patch of course). Would it be OK? Note that apps compiled with 57.1 seem to work with the 58.1 library, at least FF and TB. No need to recompile AFAICT.
