This memo page is an English version of previous Japaese page. Some foreign people are accessing my page. So I added this page as English version. But not complete same as Japanese page.
I’m using portsnap maintenance while midnight automatically, and found “help2man” module was updated.
help2man-1.43.3 < needs updating (port has 1.43.3_1)
I ordinary updated it by portupgarde command, then an error appeared as following.

configure: error: perl module Locale::gettext required
===> Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to sunpoet@FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach the
"/usr/ports/misc/help2man/work/help2man-1.43.3/config.log" including the
output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to
provide an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. a
/usr/sbin/pkg_info -Ea).

“Locale::gettext” is not existing???
I believe gettext has been installed when I started this machine.
I tried to confirm if it is really existing. Executing “pkg_info” command from keyboard and confirmed the result. It already installed! Why is that error happened?
p5-Locale-gettext-1.05_3 Message handling functions
I suddenly remember the description of ports/UPDATING text. Some months ago, FreeBSD Perl modules directory structiure has been big changed.
The locale::gettext module may be leaving old structure directory…..
I tried that deleting the gettext and reinstall.
# cd devel/p5-Locale-gettext # make deinstall reinstall clean
After this operation and tried again “portupgrade help2man-1.43.3”, help2man was build without any errors.
