 Priority:  Normal                |  Milestone:

----------------------------------+--------------------------------
 I have been trying to update things after using "selfupdate" to move from
 MacPorts 1.9.2 to the current version of MacPorts (which worked). Running
 "upgrade outdated" to update various packages doesn't work, but keeps
 running into the p5.12-locale-gettext and help2man error. I'm working on
 an Apple Xserve running OS X Server 10.6.8

 {{{
 [var/root] > upgrade outdated
 Warning: No port p5.12-locale-gettext found in the index.
 --->  Computing dependencies for help2man
 Error: Dependency 'p5.12-locale-gettext' not found.
 Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1
 }}}

 Thing is, these things exist, just with a different name (shown with the
 "installed" command):
 {{{ps5-locale-gettext @1.05_5}}}
 and
 {{{help2man @1.39.3_0}}}

 I looked at some of the other tickets about this problem, but some are
 flagged as "duplicate" and refer to another ticket, but that one has no
 resolution to the problem. Either something is mal-named or something is
 broken in a dependency list, which can't be fixed because upgrade doesn't
 work. Catch-22.
