 There is a problem related to "help2man".

 All commands fail when trying to update "help2man", including:

Comment:

 Please remember WikiFormatting, don't set the Milestone field for port
 tickets, don't set ticket priorities to High. Note that you don't need to
 Cc yourself.

 It says it can't find Locale::gettext, but help2man does depend on the p5
 -locale-gettext port. Is it installed and active?

 Did you recently upgrade to Snow Leopard? If so, did you read and follow
 the [wiki:Migration Migration] procedure?
