[Fink-users] libiconv strangeness

[Kevin Horton]

I did something a bit unusual last night, and it may have caused me a 
problem.  I decided to run debfoster to get rid of any unneeded 
packages that may have been dependencies of packages that I no longer 
have installed.  It asked a bunch of questions about which packages I 
still wanted, and then proceeded to remove a very large number of 
apparently unneeded ones (172 if IIRC).  I expected that the 
dependency system would keep it from removing any needed dependencies.

This morning I did a fink selfupdate, and after rsync finished fink 
tried to install libiconv-dev.  I had allowed debfoster to remove 
many .dev packages, as I understood that they contained headers only 
need while building a package, and that they served no purpose 
afterwards.

The attempt to install libiconv-dev-1.9.1-11 failed like this:

I'm not sure why fink wants to install libiconv-dev, as fink list -o 
shows that all installed packages are up to date.  The fact that it 
is unable to build libiconv-dev is probably worth sorting out though.

What additional info is needed to help troubleshoot this?

Thanks,
