 I installed macports 1.8.0 this morning (snow leopard 10.6.0 with Xcode
 3.2 from the sn dvd) and then ran

 sudo port upgrade installed

 but the command failed when trying to upgrade help2man-1.36.4 with the
 following error

 {{{

 Error: Problem while installing help2man
 }}}

 I reran this with the -dv switched and noticed errors related to a perl5
 dependency.[[BR]]
 If perl5 is a dep of help2man should it not be installed before trying to
 upgrade [[BR]]
 help2man? I've attached the output of the port -dv command as it's a bit
 long to [[BR]]
 cut'n'paste here.
