[Pkg-freeipa-devel] Bug#916115: 389-ds-base: Please use pkg-config to detect icu

[Hugh McMaster]

Source: 389-ds-base
Version: 1.4.0.19-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

icu-config has been deprecated by its upstream developers for some years now.
In icu 63.1, icu-config is optional to install, but installed by default. In
the next version, icu-config will no longer be installed by default.

The developers recommend downstream packages use pkg-config to detect the icu
libraries.

Debian will remove icu-config from libicu-dev shortly. Hence, the need to
switch to pkg-config.

Please let me know if you need any help with this change.
