Actually I didn't remove icu, but just upgraded it. Perhaps missing dependency.

I don't see anything that remotely looks like an ICU dependency inside aria2, so I suspect it's getting pulled in via .pc of some other package.

Most likely candidate:
$ xml2-config --libs
-lxml2 -lz -llzma -licui18n -licuuc -licudata -lm -ldl

Bad news is, it's using .m4 file installed by libxml2 which is really crappy and has no way for overrides (also compiles and runs a creepy test program). I'm going to try to convince upstream into using pkg-config.

I've just pushed 1.30.0 that contains upstreamed patch switching to pkg-config, so this should be fixed now.
