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

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

its a build fix... 
anyway, its a library, so not that easy to test, but I picked up gnome-characters, one of its reverse-dependencies that uses a lot of unicode, and it still works

Bug description:
  Impact
  ------
  libunistring doesn't build from source which means someone would need to fix that problem before fixing any bugs in the libunistring package for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

  Test Case
  ---------
  Does libunistring build successfully?

  Regression Potential
  --------------------
  We are simply backporting the workaround we applied in Ubuntu 19.04.
