[Bug]: nodejs Dependencies

[Vanillma]

Problem description

Hi there,

After updating libicu, I noticed that nodejs is complaining about missing softlinks from the previous version. :)

Should I create them myself? Use the previous version of libicu? (Since it's still available in the repository) Or will there be an update for nodejs?

Thanks,

Steps to reproduce the behavior.

apt update libicu npm ls -gt or Any command

libicu dependencies are being rebuilt. Please wait until those are completed. The pending pull requests can be found here https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/pulls

Thanks for the explanation...so I'll close this issue...and wait...until then I'll use the previous version :)

If anyone had a similar problem pkg update && pkg upgrade

If anyone had a similar problem pkg i libicu=74.2-1

Termux uses a "rolling release" model. We don't keep or support older versions of packages, please just do a full package upgrade. Using: pkg up

NodeJS is rebuilding right now, I'm sorry that got delayed, PHP in the same batch was having some issues, it's been moved to a separate rebuild batch now. We should have it updated within 4-5 hours, not accounting for mirror sync delays.

This same song and dance happens every new libicu version. And building out specific backward compatibility for the usually 6 to 12 hour period of interruptions caused by it is not worth the effort and overhead required.

If you absolutely need NodeJS as soon as possible, (i.e like 3 hours earlier than when it's gonna be updated on the repos)

You can grab it from the build artifacts of the CI run linked above once that finishes.

Thank you very much...now I saw that the previous version of the library is no longer available...so I edited the above message...thanks again for your quick support :)

For anyone just coming across this issue now.

This is a known issue caused by the libicu update to 75.1 we're working on getting all packages that depend on it rebuilt, but that does take a while. We apologize for any inconvenience please direct any further questions towards the PSA issue over at the packages repo.
