lipo -info /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib

Cc: ryandesign@… added

This error usually occurs when a program was built to use the MacPorts libiconv, but the MacPorts libiconv is in some way unsuitable (for example, wrong architecture), so the library of the same name provided by Apple in /usr/lib is used instead, but that library has compatibility version 7.0.0 whereas the MacPorts one has compatibility version 8.0.0 so things fail.

What is the architecture of /opt/local/bin/rsync?

i completely removed /opt and ensured my environment was clean and re-installed macports fresh after a reboot and have not experienced the problem again. thanks for the time spent on this one, apologies.
