Bug#928111: [pre-approval] unblock: icu/63.2-1
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Hi Release Team,
As Hideki Yamane noted on debian-release [1] Japanese new era is in
effect. ICU upstream released the 63.2 version to address this. The
packaging is ready to be uploaded. There are two things to consider.
First that it contains other (not related to the new era), stable
fixes as well. Including the two backported patches present in the
63.1-6 package.
Second is that I've made local testing and only found a regression.
Chromium (the browser) needs to be binNMUed as otherwise it will crash
on startup.
Hope this can be allowed for Buster.
Regards,
Laszlo/GCS
