Well, I don't get it.
When I type:

pkg_info -R libiconv-1.9.2_1

it shows many of the packages (ettercap too)
so it is required by ettercap to work properly, yes?
And when I type 
pkg_info -r ettercap

it shows libiconv as a dependant, it mean a package which is required to
work ettercap properly, yes?
And that I have always thought -r option with portupgrade was all right
for me.
