Did setup.exe warn you to reboot? I suspect that when you updated
libiconv*, you also updated gettext* and libintl* -- and bash (also
/bin/sh) uses cygintl-3.dll and cygiconv-2.dll. Therefore, if you had
any shells open, those DLLs would have been "in use", and you would have
had to reboot to get everything sorted out.
I can't reproduce your problem;
iconv -l
iconv --list
echo foo | iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8
all work fine for me. Please try again after a reboot...if that doesn't
work, we will need to discuss strace output...
