I try to install libicu-dev using apt-get

sudo apt-get install libicu-dev

And i get the error 

E: Couldn't find package libicu-dev

I tried apt-get update but that didn't change a thing. Fink doesn't help either. Anyone any ideas?

Could you try libicu36-dev instead? – jaume Feb 18 at 10:35

Looks like finkproject.org is down (I couldn't connect from my computer and checked with websitedown.info/finkproject.org). Is Fink set up on your computer to download from finkproject.org or from a mirror? – jaume Feb 18 at 10:49

You can't directly specify a URL. But the link you provided explains how to change the download URL for Fink: The easiest option to change [the mirror] is to edit /sw/etc/fink.conf as a super user (e.g. by using sudo nano /sw/etc/fink.conf) and change the Mirror-master line directly. The document also lists a couple of mirrors, choose one near you. – jaume Feb 18 at 13:48
