Dear folks,
As following /usr/port/UPDATING, I ran into a bit of trouble. System
is hosed and I cannot update any ports. I tried to follow advice
here:
20130316:
AFFECTS: users of converters/libiconv and devel/gettext
AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org
libiconv now handles the lib/charset.alias file instead of devel/gettext.
If you are using pkgng 'and' upgrading from source with portupgrade or
portmaster, first delete gettext, upgrade libiconv, then reinstall gettext.
# pkg delete -f devel/gettext
# portmaster converters/libiconv devel/gettext
or
# pkg delete -f devel/gettext
# portupgrade converters/libiconv devel/gettext
but I get error(s) in gettext. I see that there is a small problem
with gettext:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=177176
How can I get around it, I made errors by deleting devel/gmake, and
devel/glib20 and I tried to reinstall these, I did a make deinstall
reinstall to see if I could bypass the error, but update(s) always
fail with gettext. Any ideas/suggestions to fix this problem?
Thanks in Advance,
Antonio
