libicu dependency issue installing on Debian 11

[Ivix280]

Hello,

I am trying to install PlasticSCM 10 (plasticscm-client-complete) via apt on Debian 11 Bullseye according to the official instructions. I am getting errors related to not being able to install libicu dependencies. The command I used was sudo apt-get install plasticscm-client-complete and the output was:

Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 plasticscm-client-core : Depends: libicu52 but it is not installable or
                                   libicu55 but it is not installable or

                                  libicu66 but it is not installable
                         Depends: plasticscm-gnome-sharp-mono4 (>= 2.24.0) but it is not going to be installed

I have been looking online for a solution and I've seen suggestions to manually install the above or install .NET Core first but I wanted to ask what would be the recommended way to proceed.

Thanks.

Update on this: I was able to solve this issue by installing libicu63 manually: https://packages.debian.org/buster/libicu63

Downloaded the .deb file then ran "sudo dpkg -i <deb_name>".

After this installing plasticscm-client-core completes successfully.

I'm guessing Debian 11 support is not there yet 😋.
