And I am seeing the same error on an upgrade. This is a very common error with the help2man port, however this time it may be affecting more people / more installations.

Summary: help2man fails to installhelp2man: error: perl module Locale::gettext required

comment:3 Changed 12 years ago by cmconnelly (Claire Connelly)

Seems to be an issue with the p5.12-locale-gettext port not showing up in Perl -- that is, it also isn't found if you run

perl -pe 'use Locale::gettext;'

After a bunch of experimentation, I found that port uninstall p5.12-locale-gettext; port clean p5.12-locale-gettext and then trying to upgrade again caused p5-locale-gettext to be reinstalled, and the rest of the upgrade worked from there.

:debug:main perl5.12 5.12.3_3 exists in the ports tree
:debug:main perl5.12 5.12.3_3 +threads is the latest installed
:debug:main perl5.12 5.12.3_3 +threads is active

+threads is not the default for perl5.12, and w/ or w/o threads changes the directory name where perl looks for modules and where modules get installed (see source:trunk/dports/lang/perl5.12/Portfile#L82), so I would guess that you initially installed perl5.12 and p5.12-locale-gettext, and then installed perl5.12 +threads. Uninstalling p5.12-local-gettext and rebuilding/installing it with perl5.12 +threads active put the modules where your current perl is looking for it.

This situation is bad/confusing enough, but it just occurred to me that as stands this is unfixable when installing using pre-built packages-- the buildbot builds p5.12-locale-gettext against perl5.12 -threads, which contains different and incompatible files from p5.12-locale-gettext built against perl5.12 +threads, even though both have identical names/versions/variants for p5.12-locale-gettext... You lucked out because there is only an x86_64 package for p5.12-locale-gettext on packages.macports.org, but if someone installed p5.12-locale-gettext-1.50.0_6.darwin_10.x86_64.tbz2 on top of perl5.12 +threads perl would not see the module despite macports thinking everything was fine

Uninstalling p5.12-local-gettext and rebuilding/installing it with perl5.12 +threads active put the modules where your current perl is looking for it.

You are right. In this machine I did just that. I forgot to install +threads and then uninstalled everything, all perl ports including perl itself and then started clean with +threads. But somehow, I run into help2man problems here and this was the only machine that gave me this problem...

I guess somehow I assumed that uninstalling and cleaning and then re-installing was going to eliminate this kind of problems. Obviously I must have messed up at some point...

This may be a duplicate of #32171. Does this problem still occur now that that's fixed?
