can't update system.

[keneasson]

Hi thanks for the reply.
I'm worried that changing WITH_GECKO will try and rebuild firefox2 which is marked IGNORE. It took me a long time to get that resolved.

Here is a bit of my portmaster -a log, it's pretty clear that there is a dependency loop.

 portmaster -a > pormasterbuild.log

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libiconv.so.3" not found, required by "httpd"

If only only try and rebuild libxul or libiconv, then the dependency loop only includes these two files.
#portmaster www/libxul

#portmaster converters/libiconv

portmaster -f doesn't change much. and removing the ports that aren't updating has only made my system virtually unusable.

Thanks.

libiconv does not require libxul AFAICT.

That is likely what is causing your problems. 
Remove that line and see if things work better.
