These two package-sets should be updated together. libiconv-1.9.1-1 libiconv2-1.9.1-1 libcharset1-1.9.1-1
gettext-0.12.1-1 gettext-devel-0.12.1-1 libintl2-0.12.1-1 libgettextpo0-0.12.1-1 (*) (*) new library package -- gettext-devel now depends on it. Because we do not have versioned requires AFAIK, this means that even people who are using the curr: gettext-devel will pick up the test: libgettextpo0 package as a dependency. However, this should be harmless. Both libiconv and gettext packages were COMPLETELY reorganized between (libiconv: 1.8 -> 1.9.1, gettext: 0.11.5 -> 0.12.1). So much so, that I would consider these packages to be new ports. Worse, they needed lots of care and feeding, plus new (cygwin-specific) code [thanks a bunch, Bruno...] Even after I got all the code "just right", I still needed to compile libiconv install it compile libiconv (yes, again!) install it compile gettext install it compile gettext (yes, again!) install it -- compile libiconv AGAIN! install it compile libiconv ONE MORE TIME! install it compile gettext A FINAL TIME... My poor 450Mhz laptop was really tired... In any case, these "new ports" passed their internal selftests for the most part (better compliance than their predecessors) so they're probably okay.
