There is an explanation here: |

It tells that gettext/iconv shouldn't be there at all. It is in my |
| 59 |
system (obviously) so I need to remove and recompile. (using |
| 60 |
rev-dep-rebuild --soname libiconv.so.2) |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Looks like it was fetchmail that pulled in gettext and gettext pulled in |
| 63 |
libiconv. |
