yes, I have

Current installed version:
libiconv-1.14nb3

and am trying to upgrade to libiconv-1.17 which is in current pkgsrc.

Since you hinted an issue, I uninstalled libiconv. It had no reverse
dependencies. After that, "make install" of libiconv succeeded (of
course, not make replace).

I think this is a bug, since it prevents a proper upgrade.
