Please provide more information what versions of libiconv.so you have installed in which places. Thanks!

It seems two version of libiconv installed on my system.

I clean build hrev30957 gcc4/gcc2 hybrid mode with Optinalpackage (Development, subversion etc..).

The problem does indeed occur on the gcc4/gcc2 hybrid build only. The runtime loader does search the /system/lib/gcc2 directory before /boot/common/lib (since svn is a gcc2 build) and therefore finds the wrong libiconv.so (version 1.12 instead of 1.13). Creating a /boot/common/lib/gcc2/ and linking the ../libiconv.so there, solves the issue. I see two problems:

• libneon's dependency is "libiconv.so", although it correctly should be "libiconv.so.2". At least that's the soname of the correct one.
• The libiconv.so generated by the build system is not properly versioned. Though that might break things again. I don't get libiconv's naming scheme -- supposedly 1.13 is only a minor version update, so it would be "libiconv.so.2", too.

Besides fixing those two issues, I guess OptionalPackages has to add symlinks as the one above for hybrid builds.
