Has anyone seen this error before? I haven't been able to find much about it via Google, so thought I would check here - idn_decode failed (9): `System iconv failed'. We have had to rebuild this server and we want to get it patched asap. I've installed the most recent version of wget and all of its dependencies, so I'm not sure what is going on here. Here is the debug output:
