For an example: I recently was trying to compile Enlightenment DR17's latest snapshots and fell flat because of weird complaints about libiconv... which I now think I understand thanks to everyone. But there, for instance, is a set of code that is up to date as of Dec 2nd but still uses libiconv.gposil wrote:SHS makes a very good point, until application developers catch up with glibc development, we'll leave libiconv in the devx, but all new apps and upgrades should be taken from Debian branch(which doesn't use it).

musher0: re devx, I've had exactly the same problem, but in my case it seems to be inconsistent - it works with some pupsave files and not with others. Can you check if maybe, just maybe, you are also having my "nothing saves in /etc" problem on your dpupsave? I had thought that was the source of the difficulty with loading the SFS file.
Sorry incidentally to not get back on your good suggestions in that regard... but have tried fsck'ing the file (it boots with pfix=fsck anyway) and the pen drive, and now tried changing the size of the dpupsave file, all with no luck so far.
