[Bug 2016021] Re: icu FTBFS on lunar

[Steven R. Loomis]

What ICU is this? I can't tell which version from here. Your analysis
sounds reasonable, may have to ignore the tests (there's a logKnownIssue
mechanism) - put the following before the failing test case:


if (logKnownIssue("https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/icu/+bug/2016021", "tzdata issue")) {
  return;
}

Title:
  icu FTBFS on lunar

Status in icu package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  During the last test rebuild, it was noticed that icu failed to build
  from source, with the following failures in the test suite:

  -------------
  | ***     FAILING TEST SUMMARY FOR:              intltest  
           TestAliasedNames
           TestCanonicalID
        TimeZoneTest
     format
  | *** END FAILING TEST SUMMARY FOR:              intltest

  The issue is related to the recent tzdata updates: not only the usual
  batch of changes made to reflect the current state of the world, but
  also changes made to have a better data set for pre-1970 dates.
