Subject:   Problem upgrading misc/help2man: missing language files

I am unable to upgrade misc/help2man, required by autoconf and other ports that I want to upgrade that depend on perl and/or png. 

Currently installed version of help2man is 1.40.12 and new version is 1.40.13

I get a bundle of error messages like


Extracting help2man (with variable substitutions)

So here I am stuck.  I don't know whether the fault is with my installed help2man-1.40.12 or the distfile for 1.40.13.  

How do I get past this impasse?  I suppose I could use "-x misc/help2man" in portmaster commands, but don't really want to do that if 1.40.13 is good but my installation of 1.40.12 is corrupted.
