hi,
> You have perl modules installed, that have no corresponding installed
> FreeBSD port.
i do not use BSDPAN -- it's sloppy about its dependency mgmt.
as i do on every other os/platform, i use ONLY "native" cpan/cpanp.
i have dozens of cpan-installed perl-modules. cpan/cpanp manage the
dependencies just fine.
the problem is in the case of 'help2man'.
the port-install of help2man *DOES* use the cpan-installed gettext
perl-module correctly,
pkg_info | grep help2man
help2man-1.36.4_1 Automatically generating simple manual pages from
pkg_delete help2man-1.36.4_1
portinstall help2man
---> Installing 'help2man-1.36.4_1' from a port (misc/help2man)
---> Building '/usr/ports/misc/help2man'
...
===> help2man-1.36.4_1 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.8 - found
===> Applying FreeBSD patches for help2man-1.36.4_1
===> help2man-1.36.4_1 depends on file:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/mach/Locale/gettext.pm - found
...
*BUT*, in subsequent port updates/upgrades, it looks for the
p5-Locale-gettext* module.
looking in source,
cd /usr/ports/misc/help2man
grep p5-Locale-gettext *
Makefile:BUILD_DEPENDS=
${SITE_PERL}/${PERL_ARCH}/Locale/gettext.pm:${PORTSDIR}/devel/p5-Locale-gettext
Makefile:RUN_DEPENDS=
${SITE_PERL}/${PERL_ARCH}/Locale/gettext.pm:${PORTSDIR}/devel/p5-Locale-gettext
and verifying in my system,
module_info Locale::gettext
Name: Locale::gettext
Version: 1.05
Directory: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/mach
File: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/mach/Locale/gettext.pm
Core module: no
there's no legitimate reason why it should NOT be looking for the
*correctly installed* gettext dependency in site_perl path ...
but, the fact remains that it isn't.
