Package: libicu36-dev Version: 3.6-6 Severity: grave Hi,
Someone else aready told me about this on IRC but I didn't have any idea until I ran into it myself now; the binaries in libicu36-dev are broken or a dependency is missing: This system is a pure amd64 system and I tried to build amd64 pakages in a clean chroot. That means only with libicu36-dev installed. genbrk fails miserably. excerpts from the build log: checking for genbrk... /usr/bin/genbrk checking for genccode... /usr/sbin/genccode checking for gencmn... /usr/sbin/gencmn checking ICU version... OK [...] /usr/bin/genbrk -r data/char_ta.txt -o ../../unxlngx6.pro/misc/char_ta.brk /bin/bash: /usr/bin/genbrk: No such file or directory dmake: Error code 127, while making '../../unxlngx6.pro/misc/char_ta.brk' '---* tg_merge.mk *---' ERROR: Error 65280 occurred while making /build/rene/openoffice.org-2.2.1/ooo-build/build/OOF680_m18/i18npool/source/breakiterator So why is that? (The bash message is totally bogus..) $ genbrk genbrk: error while loading shared libraries: libicutu.so.36: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (same with the other tools, too) Hmm? Shouldn't this be in libicu36-dev? Yes, it is. Hmm. So I wondered why it wasn't found and just by chance I ran file on genbrk: $ file /usr/bin/genbrk /usr/bin/genbrk: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped Ahaa. i386 binary. I therefore installed lib32icu36 (which contains the 32-bit icu libs and then it magically works). Was that intended or is it a bug caused by the 32bit packages building? I'd assume the second, but... So either - the 32-bit binaries in the amd64 package are intended. Then you need to depend on lib32icu36, too - the 32-bit binaries in the amd64 is a mistake introduced by the 32/64 bit thing and you should ship 64-bit tools This also explains why I never saw this on OOo 2.3.0 builds for experimental as I was using libicu-dev (3.8) there - which doesn't have the 32/64 bit stuff yet - and of course neither on other archs than amd64..
