Works

I am not sure if this is related but running kontact (kde suite) I get a crash:

Reverting libicu to the previous version works.

I am not adding a -1 because I am not sure that the problem is with libicu, I just want to report this as in issue.

BTW the crash as it can be seen above is due to the code triggering an assert.

New attempt with https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/icu-63.2-2.fc30

Now it works. :-)

This is the obsoleted failing update though, instead please add karma to FEDORA-2019-29e13b1d55
