HOWTO: Set up NFS remote file shariing and mounting in Ubuntu

FIX: dependency is not satisfiable: libicu36 when installing Chandler on Ubuntu

I tried installing installing Chandler the GTD app from the .deb file but got an error about ‘dependency is not satisfiable:  libicu36′.

This is as newer versions of Ubuntu use libicu38.

To fix the error try:
wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/libicu36_3.6-3ubuntu0.1_i386.deb

sudo dpkg -i libicu36_3.6-3ubuntu0.1_i386.deb
Then try installing the Chandler .deb again.
