Hi, ------------------ I recently deinstalled libiconv for some reason, but now I am not able to reinstall it because it is blocked: root@herman dev-libs # emerge libiconv/libiconv-1.7.ebuild Calculating dependencies \ !!! ebuild dev-libs/libiconv-1.7 not found (possibly blocked by package.mask) ------------------ When I try to emerge for instance abiword, I get the following error: ------------------- perl: error while loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory /usr/bin/perl: error while loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory ************************************************* * Ignore above ERROR as it does not cause build * * to fail. * ************************************************* /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: ./configure: No such file or directory !!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully. !!! Function src_compile, Line 106, Exitcode 127 !!! (no error message) !!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/app-office/abiword/abiword-1.0.1.ebuild . --------------------- To me personally, it is not really an issue, but it seams to me a bug so it should be reported :) Thanks, Sander
libiconv was masked for just this reason, it taints and interferes with a lot of packages emerge unmerge libiconv emerge glibc logout login emerge gal perl <-- those two link to libiconv if built when libiconv is installed.
