And my problem:
https://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=44658

Can't do UPDATING: 20130904, libiconv has never been on the system.

Not sure whether to allow portmaster to upgrade[*]. Pretty sure
something will break if I do. What do you suggest?

Hi,

Since then a new commit has changed things a little, it's r341775 [1]

It now allows libiconv to be installed by a few selected ports who
really need functionality not available in the base implementation of
iconv.



[*]
# portmaster -adwv
===>>> All >> (4)

===>>> The following actions will be taken if you choose to proceed:
         Upgrade php55-iconv-5.5.8 to php55-iconv-5.5.8_1
         Install converters/libiconv
         Upgrade nginx-1.4.4_2,1 to nginx-1.4.4_3,1
         Upgrade owncloud-6.0.0a to owncloud-6.0.1

===>>> Proceed? y/n [y] n



 From what I see here I think you can allow it to do that without
problems for now. I've seen two PRs stating problems with some ports.

The PRs I've indicate that, after such a step, glib20 and exim fail to
build. These problems need fixing at present.

This applies only to ports compiled on the live system, if one is using
poudriere or tinderbox they can build anyway(so binary packages have no
problems), this happens because when using these software each port is
compiled in a clean environment.

Hi, Guido. Thanks for your response.

Not sure about this users particular situation, except that it appears they are experiencing some problems compiling libiconv [0]. Another user seems to be experiencing problems (re)installing php5x-iconv, which has rendered something broken [1]. This makes me reluctant to proceed with my upgrades for fear that similar will occur.

Also, I'm not usng svn, but portsnap; don't know if it matches r341775.

I appreciate your advice, but I think I will wait before updating these ports. Hopefully things get cleaned up a bit. I would not be happy if something breaks.
