[Bug 1813587] Re: libunistring and libidn ftbfs on 18.04 LTS

[Brian Murray]

The regression potential here in the description is incorrect "We are
simply backporting the workaround we applied in Ubuntu 18.10." The fix
in Ubuntu 18.10 for both packages was to add "--no-as-needed" to the
build options which you now indicate is a worse solution. Please also
upload the better fix to the cosmic SRU queue.

** Changed in: libidn (Ubuntu Bionic)
       Status: In Progress => Incomplete
