Bug#1100652: timblserver: using icu but missing libicu-dev explicit dependency

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Source: timblserver
Version: 1.19-1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch


Hello, looks like timblserver uses directly icu, as said in other bug reports already :)

./configure.ac:AC_OSX_PKG( [icu4c] )
./configure.ac:PKG_CHECK_MODULES([ICU], [icu-uc >= 50 icu-io] )


But misses a build-dependency on libicu-dev.
Note: currently this is added via libxml2-dev, but this might change in the future, libxml2 might loose icu support, or stop dragging it in (e.g. what was done in Ubuntu devel release).

Golden rule to me looks to explicitly depend on it, to avoid issues in other Debian releases, backports or in the future.
