Brew: ncmpcpp does not start after updated icu4u

[fooness]

Maybe someone could please fix this. It seems ncmpcpp seems just to be linked(?) to the new library?

~ >> brew doctor
Your system is ready to brew.

~ >> ncmpcpp
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib/libicuuc.56.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/ncmpcpp
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5

~>> ls /usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib/libicuuc.
libicuuc.57.1.dylib libicuuc.57.dylib@ libicuuc.a libicuuc.dylib@

Thanks in advance!

ncmpcpp has no direct dependency on icu4c, but depends on a non-standard build of boost with the --with-icu4c option. I'm pretty sure that rebuilding boost will fix the problem, i.e. please try brew reinstall boost and report back.

In the future, please report this kind of issue to the homebrew-core repository. This repository is for issues with the package manager itself, not for issues with specific formulae. Thanks!

I'll check if we can do something to prevent this kind of breakage in the future.

Excuse me, I did not know I’m in the wrong repository—and thanks for the link to the right one! Unfortunately, that didn’t help. Can you maybe move the issue? I’m not sure that’s possible here.

Unfortunately, that didn’t help.

You're right, sorry. The rebuild of boost was probably necessary anyway, but there's one more issue. It's now identified and a new build of ncmpcpp is scheduled (see Homebrew/homebrew-core#344). It should be available soon and I'll let you know here in the issue once it's ready! If you're impatient, you can fix the issue by rebuilding from source via brew reinstall --build-from-source ncmpcpp.

Can you maybe move the issue? I’m not sure that’s possible here.

Let's keep it here. Unfortunately, there's no nice way on GitHub to move issues to other repositories.

The fixed bottle should be available now. A brew update followed by a brew upgrade ncmpcpp should fix the issue. Many thanks for reporting, @fooness!
