Grep in gnome-control-center source package in ubuntu and the git repository reveal no direct icu usage. Are you sure it's not some other component? Also jhbuild sets trivially allow one building all reverse- depends include core components and patching stuff if needed.
The risk is high here. We are late in the cycle and will not have time to fix issues from another full-archive rebuild. icu is a core component, if for example some software detects icu-*.pc files and prefers those above icu-config and there is a bug in icu-*.pc usage.... then an SRU or security update might simply not build. That would be really bad. The risk is too high here. Did you rebuild all reverse dependencies all the way up? or did a static analysis on those? ** Also affects: icu (Ubuntu Quantal) Importance: Wishlist Status: Incomplete ** Also affects: icu (Ubuntu R-series) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: icu (Ubuntu R-series) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: icu (Ubuntu R-series) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1037588 Title: Provide pkg-config pc files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/icu/+bug/1037588/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
