Issue ICU-22132 in the dev-libs/icu-74.1 "VTimeZone::write produces non-compliant VTIMEZONE" affects multiple applications. In my case Thunderbird would not initialize correctly and there was no sidebar, no search bar and the calendar was missing. There is no official fix yet, but the patch provided in the discussion fixed the issue for me. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =dev-libs/icu-74.1 =mail-client/thunderbird-115.6.0 2. Start Thunderbird Actual Results: Thunderbird starts, but misses several components. Expected Results: Thunderbird should start with all components available. There is also a related issue in Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1843007

Same issue here, no calendar or task view in thunderbird when using USE=system-icu, which was just recently unmasked again. Console shows repetitions of: JavaScript error: resource:///modules/calendar/calStorageHelpers.jsm, line 83: uncaught exception: ParserError: invalid line (no token ";" or ":") "Europe/Berlin[2023c]" console.warn: Calendar: Message: [Exception...

Sigh, it was supposed to be fixed in 74.1. Basically this PR needs to be reverted then: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/34419

Not fixed in dev-libs/icu-75.1 fixed version set to future in https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/ICU-22132 There is no PR at https://github.com/unicode-org/icu/pulls for ICU-22132 There were some changes in https://github.com/unicode-org/icu/commits/main/icu4c/source/i18n/vtzone.cpp but I don't know if that fixes the issue. Please update the comment in profiles/base/package.use.stable.mask btw, there is https://github.com/unicode-org/icu/releases/tag/release-76-rc if you wanna test. Why don't we add the patch to dev-libs/icu until it is merged upstream?
