I just updated my Mag 9 and received the following error after a successful update.

I have not rebooted yet. Is this going to cause problems when I reboot the system? Does this break stuff?

Thanks for the link. I saw that bug report, but it doesn't indicate what the ramifications are for the missing file.

The computer boots OK and seems to be running normally, so I am assuming that it isn't a critical piece.

Is there a site where I can read up on how the iconv/gconv stuff works?

Thanks

The man page for iconvconfig is probably a better place as that creates this cache.
It is only a cache for character set conversion and not required for anything, there are no ramifications if it's missing.

Thanks for the links and the info.
I am marking this resolved.
