There is an explanation here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104237 It tells that gettext/iconv shouldn't be there at all. It is in my system (obviously) so I need to remove and recompile. (using rev-dep-rebuild --soname libiconv.so.2) Looks like it was fetchmail that pulled in gettext and gettext pulled in libiconv. -- Natanael Copa -- [email protected] mailing list
