I have installed many ports since then and all dependencies are OK. Yesterday I have stumbled across several posts in the forum making me aware of a major change in handling port converters/libiconv: 10.0-RELEASE ships with its own version of iconv so that there is no need to install port converters/libiconv anymore. Some of these posts are: https://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=44658 https://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=44644 https://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=44659 Immediately I have studied /usr/ports/UPDATING and have found this confirmed with the 20130904 entry telling me at the same time how to remove converters/libiconv from the system. First I checked dependencies from converters/libiconv: # pkg query %ro libiconv devel/glib20 sysutils/polkit graphics/liblqr-1 sysutils/upower x11-toolkits/pango astro/xplanet editors/vim ftp/proftpd converters/php5-iconv mail/claws-mail lang/vala-vapigen Then I've issued as proposed: # pkg query %ro libiconv >ports_to_update # pkg delete -f libiconv # cat ports_to_update | xargs portmaster All ports depending on converters/libiconv have been rebuilt but converters/libiconv has been reinstalled with all the above ports depending on it again: # pkg info -o libiconv libiconv-1.14_2 converters/libiconv At the same time /usr/ports/UPDATING tells me that some ports still need converters/libiconv. At this point I am completely lost and need some advice: 1.) Should I try to get rid of converters/libiconv with respect to the above dependencies? 2.) If 1.) = "YES": How can I achieve it, because the proposed way in /usr/ports/UPDATING does not work. In one of the above links following is proposed: portmaster -Raf which should rebuild all ports. Is there any switch needed in /etc/make.conf to convice ports of not using converters/libiconv? 3.) Is there a list of known ports that definitely need converters/libiconv? I do appreciate any advice on this topic. Regards, Peter
