I am trying to build a simple swift project on ubuntu and just starting to learn swift. I get the following error when I run swift build.
DEVELOPMENT-SNAPSHOT-2018-06-21-a-ubuntu16.10/usr/bin/swift-build:
error while loading shared libraries:
libicuuc.so.57: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Hence I tried to install libicuuc package by following commands.
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/icu/icu-devtools-dbg_57.1-6+deb9u1_amd64.deb
which works fine, then I did
sudo dpkg -i icu-devtools-dbg_57.1-6+deb9u1_amd64.deb
I get the following error after above command
Selecting previously unselected package icu-devtools-dbg.
(Reading database ... 282927 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack icu-devtools-dbg_57.1-6+deb9u1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking icu-devtools-dbg (57.1-6+deb9u1) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of icu-devtools-dbg:
icu-devtools-dbg depends on libicu57 (= 57.1-6+deb9u1); however:
Package libicu57 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing package icu-devtools-dbg (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
icu-devtools-dbg
So I tried following command.
sudo apt-get install libicu57
Which throws me following error.
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libicu57 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'libicu57' has no installation candidate
And now I am stuck
