I've been trying to slim down an Arch linux install as much as possible without losing functionality. Looking around /usr with "ncdu" I found /usr/lib/libreoffice/program, which contains library files, and at the top of the list libicudata.so.52 weighing in at nearly 23mb!
I also noticed I already have libicudata.so from the package "icu" (as a dependancy of firefox/qt5 amongst others)
Is there a reason why libreoffice has to be different and not share libraries with other pieces of software?

Though 23Mb is not so big with actual disk size, I agree that something needs to be clarify.
Libreoffice-common is configured to use the system icu library which is 53, but:
$ ldd /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin|grep icu
libicuuc.so.52 => /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libicuuc.so.52 (0x00007ff62810a000)
libharfbuzz-icu.so.0 => /usr/lib/libharfbuzz-icu.so.0 (0x00007ff62514e000)
libicudata.so.52 => /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libicudata.so.52 (0x00007ff6228b3000)
libicuuc.so.53 => /usr/lib/libicuuc.so.53 (0x00007ff6213ef000)
libicudata.so.53 => /usr/lib/libicudata.so.53 (0x00007ff61fd67000)
this shows that it uses the two versions.
You should ask one of the package maintainer, AndyRTR or Bartłomiej Piotrowski.

Thanks for confirming it is unusual, I've raised a bug report for it:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/40204
edit: also, I really am trying to keep any bloat out of this installation, even down to removing a few MB of large icon sizes! (it's all going on a ram drive so every little helps)

You might want to take a look at the package logs. This was changed in the new version in testing a couple of days ago. https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … ibreoffice
Notice there was a serious patch applied to make it work with the new version.

Doh! Thanks for letting me know
