thomas@mate:~$ equivs-control libicu72
thomas@mate:~$ nano libicu72thomas@mate:~$ equivs-build libicu72

You're right. At least further use of apt wouldn't really work until I did the cleaning up it told me to do, which uninstalled powershell again (forgot the command). I don't really know that much about apt/dpkg, so I just perused Out of curiosity, how does deb handle the upgrade proces when a "real" new version of And thank you for your solution/workaround :) |
As soon as Powershell is officially released for Noble, it will also use version >=74. The dummy package will then be obsolete. However, it will remain in the system until it is manually uninstalled. |
