libiconv problems

2014-06-06 Thread Paul Schmehl
According to UPDATING, I should be able to do this to resolve issues with 
libiconv:  pkg query %ro libiconv ports_to_update


On my system, running 8.4 RELEASE with the old packaging system, this 
command doesn't do anything.  I ran pkg_info to get a list of dependent 
apps and then piped that into xargs portmaster, but I got errors.


# cat dependencies.txt | xargs portmaster

=== /var/db/pkg/Information does not exist
=== Aborting update

=== Killing background jobs
Terminated
Terminated
Terminated
Terminated
Terminated
Terminated
Terminated
Terminated

=== Exiting

So how can I fix this problem without updating to the new pkg system?

You don't.

UPDATING says:
AFFECTS: 10-CURRENT users with any port depending on converters/libiconv

8.4 not affected, according to the entry.


All well and good, except for one problem:

ls /usr/ports/devel/libiconv*
ls: /usr/ports/devel/libiconv*: No such file or directory

And yes my ports are current.

It's a typo, should say converters/libiconv. I've fixed it.
