This has nothing to do with libiconv-1.10-6 as such.  The problem is 
that there's something wrong in your status file.

What I've been doing when it's a buildlock that's causing the problem is 
to edit /sw/var/lib/dpkg/status as root, go to the line number, and 
remove the whole entry for the offending buildlock package.
