R package and libicu... Is its-pointless on VACATIONS 😂😂

[dipayand]

I am getting the following error on executing R

CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/R/bin/exec/R": library "libicuuc.so.69" not found: needed by main executable

You'll need to use R in chroot, e.g. Debian or Arch. Repository by its-pointless is no longer maintained. We also don't have build recipes for R and can't provide a build that would be compatible with current libicu.

As stated in https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Getting_started#Tips, do backups of the environment ($PREFIX) once everything is set up and working. Termux is rolling-release distribution and currently there no ways for us to provide different release models that would be more stable & friendly to third-party software on long term basis.

Could be, but probably retired.
