Logwatch Fails With: Can't locate HTML/Entities.pm

[Michael Newman]

After finally figuring out (being told) where to put my override directives, logwatch, when run from the command line, yields:

Sellotape:conf mnewman$ sudo logwatch --range yesterday --output stdout --format text
Can't locate HTML/Entities.pm in @INC (you may need to install the HTML::Entities module) (@INC contains: /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.34/darwin-thread-multi-2level /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.34 /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.34/darwin-thread-multi-2level /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.34 /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.34/darwin-thread-multi-2level /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.34) at /opt/local/bin/logwatch line 64.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /opt/local/bin/logwatch line 64.

If this module is required, shouldn’t it have been installed when I installed the logwatch port?

Here’s what’s in the override file:

Output = mail
Format = text
MailTo = [me]@mac.com
MailFrom = Logwatch
Detail = Med
Service = all
mailer = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t”

This is the same as what works on a Raspberry Pi. That same command line also works on a Pi.

What have I done wrong here?
