Description

I've tried to install Digicam using macports on Mountain Lion system (macports 2.2.0 was installed yesterday via dmg package downloaded from the site). I've got:

--->  Computing dependencies for digikam
Error: Dependency 'libiconv' not found.
To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
    http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
Error: Processing of port digikam failed

then i ran

sudo port -v selfupdate

and it's finished successfully.

I've tried to uninstall libiconv and so I ran:

sudo port clean libiconv

and got

Error: Port libiconv not found

then i've tried to install libiconv from the scratch:

sudo port install libiconv

and got:

Error: Port libiconv not found

what i'm doing wrong?

I don't know. The port exists. Please show the output of:

sudo port -v selfupdate

Could you please show the output of sudo port -v selfupdate so that I can see if any errors are occurring when syncing the ports tree or updating the portindex? Those are the only reasons I can think of at the moment for why a port that definitely exists would be missing on your system.

The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run
  port upgrade outdated

Hmm, well that looks normal enough. And port libiconv allegedly still doesn't exist? I wonder how many ports your system thinks exist. Could you run this to count them all:

port echo all | wc -l

There should be over 17,000 ports.

the log:

17680

That seems approximately right. The web site says we have 17678 ports. So why is libiconv missing on your system? You're going to have to help us figure it out since the problem is unique to your computer.

Do you have a separate collection of ports? Have you edited sources.conf? If so what non-comment lines does it currently contain?
