We can drop snowballs on each other, but I don't see why we should and where do you want to arrive. It is still true that you didn't investigate the build failure of your package, I had to do it. Instead, you jumped on graphviz. I don't see what package might have a FTBFS bug for the ICU transition is not done yet.

Any package needs a newer ICU and can't be built with the 76.1 version? > You skipped 77 and now 78 was released two months ago already. While it's not that public, there were two deaths in my family. I was busy with that instead of the ICU 77.1 transition. About the 78.1 release, it is packaged and available from experimental. The transition is not yet asked because it breaks the whole nodejs ecosystem [1] and upstream fix is still pending [2]. It has also an integer overflow problem, fixed but no release contains it yet [3]. On the other hand, I've prepared the ICU transition locally, done all the rebuilds. When I found a FTBFS issue, I not just filed a bug but provided a patch. > Also note you were not even maintaining your own packages properly, since: [...] > was not done by you as the maintainer of the ICU package (as you should have > done).

Indeed, I learnt a lot from you.
