Description: gptfdisk declares that it depends on icu but
according to the current README from upstream it does not: ===================================== In addition, note these requirements: * The ICU library (http://site.icu-project.org), which provides support for Unicode partition names, is optional on all platforms except Windows, on which it's not supported. Using this library was required to get proper UTF-16 partition name support in GPT fdisk versions prior to 0.8.9, but as of that version it should not longer be required. Nonetheless, you can use it if you're having problems with the new UTF-16 support. This library is normally installed in Linux and OS X, but you may need to install the development headers (libicu-dev or something similar in Linux; or the libicu36-dev Fink package in OS X). To compile with ICU support, you must modify the Makefile: Look for commented-out lines that refer to USE_UTF16, -licuuc, -licudata, or -licucore. Uncomment them and comment out the equivalents that lack these lines. ==================================== I suggest removing icu from the depends array. Steps to reproduce: |

Our 0.8.10 package doesn't depend on icu either:
