[R-pkg-team] Bug#1042775: r-cran-stringi: fails being loaded in R

[Martin Weiser]

Package: r-cran-stringi
Version: 1.7.12-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: martin.weiser at natur.cuni.cz

Dear Maintainer,

I cannot load package "r-cran-stringi" from my R session.
Within an R session, issue:
 library("stringi") 

The R responds: 
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘stringi’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
 unable to load shared object '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/stringi/libs/stringi.so':
  libicui18n.so.67: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

My R session info:

With Bookworm, I have:
apt-file search libicui18n.so:

libicu-dev: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libicui18n.so
libicu72: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libicui18n.so.72
libicu72: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libicui18n.so.72.1

I installed all packages (both R and system) using apt.

Although I would be happy to help, I have not solved
 the problem (loading the "stringi" package) myself yet...
 
Thank you for your consideration.

With regards,

Martin Weiser
