Subject: Cygwin base install no longer has iconv binary
Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2021 20:01:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <000001d73c60$f6d23fe0$e476bfa0$@cl.cam.ac.uk> (raw)
[Continuing second point in
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-apps/2021-April/041212.html]
The man-db package prior to 2.9.3-1 on 3 Jan depended on the libiconv
package which, unusually, includes the iconv binary itself.
I noticed as OCaml has assumed since 2017 that iconv would be available in
base, and thus on "any" Cygwin installation. I was already working on
removing OCaml's dependency on the iconv binary, so I don't have a strong
opinion either way, but should libiconv be put in the Base category in order
to keep the installed commands consistent?
