Bug#447735: openoffice.org-core: symbol lookup error

thanks

Thanks for the report.  While I recognize the seriousness of
accidental ABI changes (in fact, my start in Debian was managing a
tiff transition caused by just this issue), I don't think there was
ever any guarantee that this type of breakage wouldn't occur between
d01 and the final 3.8 release.  If this were an update to unstable,
I'd back it out or otherwise take some corrective action, but for this
particular instance, I think the best course of action would be to
simply rebuild any affected packages.  I definitely don't want to
modify the debian ICU packages to use a different soname because of an
incompatibility introduced that was confined to the experimental
release and that occurred between a prerelease and the final release.
Since there is no transition from experimental to unstable, there is
no risk of contaminating unstable or testing because of this problem.
