It fails to build from source on some platforms on occasion. When it fails to build, dependent software becomes unavailable to install. See, for example, https://www.google.com/search?q=ICU+FTBFS . (FTBFS is Failure to Build from Source). Libidn2 and libunicode usually build on all platforms. I don't recall them failing to build from source or blocking other software.
