I'm trying to reduce the size of an embedded system. So I'm studying what I could remove.
One of the biggest file is :
libicudata.so.52.1 which length is 23 Mo. This is a big part of my system.
- I'm using java and apache : are they using libicu ?
- Why this file is so big ?
- Is there any alternative library ?

Both the JRE and Apache use libicu, via libxml2. You can see this on your system by asking aptitude why it needs a package:
aptitude why apache2 libicu52
aptitude why openjdk-7-jre libicu52
This will show the “main†dependency tree which pulls in libicu52, starting respectively from Apache and the JRE. You can add -v after why to list all the dependency trees linking the two packages.
The library is huge because it contains an enormous database of character set conversion tables and locale data. You can get some idea of the contents by exploring the mapping tables on the ICU web site.
I don’t think there are any alternative libraries, at least none which you can drop in easily as replacements. If you want a smaller system, your best bet is to rebuild libxml2 without the libicu dependency.

Thank you for the command "why". All I see is "suggestion" throw doc package and groff (who formats man pages). So libicu is clearly not needed !
