that's strange.
sorry, i should have described the symptom: when I did tce-load -wi, tce-load tried and failed to download libiconv.
now i don't feel like I understand what happened any more, sorry.
I had a strange version of libavcodec.tcz that depended on libiconv. I must have copied it over manually or sth and then forgotten.
