If you downgrade icu to 58.1 or earlier the build would abort when checking BUILD_DEPENDS rather than at configure stage. Version requirements like that are used to facilitate partial upgrades (not all dependencies in sync or up-to-date) but the support is fragile/untested as there's no handholding in case of issues. _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
