No, help2man depends on it, and gnuchess only calls help2man. But gnuchess is missing a dep on help2man.
The bug has been closed via the following commit(s): https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=ab2c8ec3463fcffe1fbcb7bfd52fb16ebf346492 commit ab2c8ec3463fcffe1fbcb7bfd52fb16ebf346492 Author: Sam James <sam@gentoo.org> AuthorDate: 2025-03-09 10:19:22 +0000 Commit: Sam James <sam@gentoo.org> CommitDate: 2025-03-09 10:19:22 +0000 games-board/gnuchess: BDEPEND on help2man Bit annoying as it uses `missing` so we don't notice if it's actually *absent*, (=> nobody filed a bug until now / noticed the missing dep) but if it's present-but-broken (e.g. needs a rebuild for Locale-gettext) then it'll be used and bomb out like in the bug as Portage didn't know gnuchess was using it so wasn't forced to schedule it after help2man was rebuilt.
