The log says:

`/opt/local/lib/libiconv.la' is not a valid libtool archive

Why is it not a valid libtool archive? What's in it?

I recently went through several rounds of this problem with someone else in #30136. Perhaps reading that ticket would be instructive.

Try rebuilding libiconv:

sudo port -n upgrade --force libiconv

[fleason (Fred Leason)]

Rebuilding libiconv solved the problem.
After upgrading macports, everything is reinstalling

There does not seem to be a way to enforce sequence so that prerequisites precede.

Replying to fleason@…:

I don't know what you mean. MacPorts does follow dependencies when needed. I can't explain why your libiconv was built incorrectly before but glad you got it built correctly now.

[bernhard.fuerst@…]

fleason@... probably means the sequence of upgraded ports when all installed ports get upgraded. In my case the above mentioned problem occurred after upgrading from OS X 10.6 to 10.7. Nearly all installed ports where marked as outdated. port upgrade outdated broke at upgrading gtk2. Upgrading libiconv before gtk2 solved the problem.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

gtk2 depends on atk depends on libiconv. MacPorts should have upgraded this in the right order for you. I don't know what it did not.
