Hi all,

I'm on a quest for someone who can explain the disappearance of GNU iconv in 
build 111a. GNU iconv was in 2008.11, but the package is now empty in build 
111a.  According to Sean Walker, who pointed to the closure of a bug by Danek, 
this is expected.  No reason seems to have been given on why it would go away, 
and it broke some software I'd put together on 2008.11.

I posted this to i18n discuss, with no reply:

There is also the original thread (best summarized as yes it's gone, but we 
don't know or care why) on indiana-discuss:
http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/indiana-discuss/2009-May/thread.html

In the bug Sean pointed to, a number of the other packages were desktop 
related.   This makes me wonder (though I don't know how I'd know unless I dig 
through the source) if this is related to desktop changes.

Thanks in advance for any info.

- Matt
