UPDATING 20130316 Pkgng Only?

  AUTHOR: bapt@FreeBSD.org

  libiconv now handles the lib/charset.alias file instead of devel/gettext.
  If you are using pkgng 'and' upgrading from source with portupgrade or
  portmaster, first delete gettext, upgrade libiconv, then reinstall gettext.

  # pkg delete -f devel/gettext
  # portmaster converters/libiconv devel/gettext
    or
  # pkg delete -f devel/gettext
  # portupgrade converters/libiconv devel/gettext

Is there a suggested upgrade procedure for those that don't use pkgng?

Just use pkg_delete.

pkg_delete -f `pkg_version -v | grep ^gettext | cut -d " " -f 1`

I read it as saying no special steps need to be taken unless you are using pkgng.

The change is most likely related to the PKGNG's conflict detection that does not exist in the old pkg tools. The old tools can happily overwrite files that are part of another package. In PKGNG it's forbidden to do so.

# pkg_delete -fx gettext
