No installation candidate for “libicu52” on 15.10

When I try to install sudo apt-get install libicu52, I get the following error.

I'm using Ubuntu 15.10, 64 bit.



Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libicu52 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 'libicu52' has no installation candidate

  • what is the current version for this? is there a meta package?

    - I installed Gdebi package manager - download the Binary package “libicu52” ( libicu52_52.1-8_<your architecture>.deb, download the package depending of your architecture ) - then you can install the package libicu52_52.1-8_<your architecture>.deb with gdeby - i used the this package on ubuntu 16.04LTS and works for me.

Install libicu55 instead:



sudo apt-get install -y libicu55


You can also search for this package:



sudo apt-get update
apt-cache search libicu


If the latter command gives you some results (eg. libicu with version number other than 52) you can check if installing it suits your needs.

    This is not a solution if you want to install libicu52. For example, if you want to install openttd.

  • Also required for powershell_6.0.0-rc-1.ubuntu.16.04 which doesn't use libicu55. The solution posted by Alejandro Pinzon above to manually download and install libicu52 worked.

Try:

dpkg -i libicu52*.deb

    Found the solution here. So download the .deb package and install manually by:



    sudo dpkg -i libicu52_52.1-3ubuntu0.8_amd64.deb


    See: http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/trusty/libicu52`

      Just ran into this today. I fixed it by adding the microsoft packages to my apt-get sources like so:



      sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/ubuntu/16.04/prod xenial main"


      Then:



      sudo apt-get update


      And then libicu52 installed.



      Found here.

          "Try" is an indicator that this post should rather be a comment than an answer. Especially as it's not really a final solution but just a hint.

        • But searching for package names containing libicu for 15.10 returns that there exists a package libicu55 which is probably what the OP wants. If you edit your answer to add that, it will become a good one and receive an upvote :)

          This is not a solution if you want to install libicu52. For example, if you want to install openttd.

                Found the solution here. So download the .deb package and install manually by:

                        Just ran into this today. I fixed it by adding the microsoft packages to my apt-get sources like so:



                        sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/ubuntu/16.04/prod xenial main"


                        Then:



                        sudo apt-get update


                        And then libicu52 installed.



                        Found here.
