Description Hanabishi 2023-08-28 15:42:45 UTC

'sys-apps/help2man' is required and build crashes without it. So it should be declared in build dependencies.

Crash how, logs? Seems to build fine for me (albeit only tried 0.56.12), I even got man pages installed despite:

   $ help2man
   bash: help2man: command not found

It does "look" for it, but that won't matter if the man pages are pre-generated.

Hmm, indeed. 
I don't remember how I stumbled upon it. Not reproducable though.
The report can be closed.
