Hmm, have you by any chance performed the previous (successful) build in a UTF-8 locale? It's not convenient for me to test at the moment, but I think the non-breaking space is discarded in a proper locale while it is retained in the C locale, which could explain the failure.

Yesterday when I tried to build again the same gnustep-base source (I still have it as a local NMU with the disabled icu-config) the mentioned test failed. Hence I think it's not ICU itself which changes the 'negativeFormat'.

I want to rebuild all of the reverse dependencies at least on amd64 (but better on i386 and/or arm64 as well). I'm a bit stressed and my progress is much slower. :( Partial result shows all issues can be easily patched. The only problem at the moment is that I was slow enough and some Haskell metapackage changed that breaks higher level Haskell packages. I think it's better to restart my test buildings and do it on one day if possible. Also check the gnustep-base self-test failure as noted previously I could build the package with the latest ICU from experimental. Something else changed since then. In short, I hope I can ask the RMs about it next week. Regards, Laszlo/GCS

That would have been with versions before 59.1-1. The configure run fails because the icu-config script has been removed. You have to pass --disable-icu-config to build gnustep-base. > the comment above reads: > >/* Different versions of ICU use different formats, so we need to > * permit alternative results. > */ Yes, this test has been failing before with different versions of ICU. I proposed another patch upstream and would like to wait for their comments before uploading. What are the plans for the ICU transition?

Strange, I'm at least twice built the ICU reverse dependencies successfully including gnustep-base. I'm not near my Linux box, but will retest it when I can. Might it work in the past or may you have additional information? Laszlo/GCS

Package: src:gnustep-base Version: 1.25.1-1 Tags: sid buster Severity: important using ICU 60.2 I see the following test failing: Failed test: basic10_4.m:166 ... negativeFormat used for -ve number Seems to be architecture independent.
