Problem after upgrading to Trusty Thar (14.04)

[levi42]

Since I upgraded to Trusty Thar, gcalcli will no longer launch, it just returns:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/gcalcli", line 392, in
class gcalcli:
File "/usr/bin/gcalcli", line 410, in gcalcli
dateParser = DateTimeParser()
File "/usr/bin/gcalcli", line 335, in init
self.pdtCalendar = parsedatetime.Calendar();
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/parsedatetime/init.py", line 216, in init
self.ptc = Constants()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/parsedatetime/init.py", line 1733, in init
self.locale = pdtLocales'icu'
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/parsedatetime/pdt_locales.py", line 151, in init
self.icu = pyicu.Locale(localeID)
icu.InvalidArgsError: (<type 'icu.Locale'>, 'init', (None,))

ditto. other python packages are working fine (e.g. geeknote, googlecl, morituri) and python-pyicu is installed.

oh and technically i get (see last line):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gcalcli", line 392, in <module>
    class gcalcli:
  File "/usr/bin/gcalcli", line 410, in gcalcli

    self.pdtCalendar = parsedatetime.Calendar();

    self.locale = pdtLocales['icu'](self.localeID)

    self.icu = pyicu.Locale(localeID)

Hello everyone,
I'm unfortunately not commenting here to add any new information regarding this error, but as I also have this problem and kind of rely on gcalcli on a daily basis, I would like to be kept up to date.
If I can help in any way to provide more information or event correct the problem, feel free to ask.
Thanks for your efforts.

$ pip install --upgrade parsedatetime

if you don't have pip (wha?):

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install python-pip

FWIW, I backported parsedatetime in my PPA so you don't need to install it from pypi.. ppa:cjohnston/ppa
