Currently installed version of help2man is 1.40.12 and new version is 1.40.13

I get a bundle of error messages like

Hi Tom

Isn't this just the creation of the backup package that fails?
I encounter errors like this sometimes, but portmaster goed on installing the newer version.

So here I am stuck.  I don't know whether the fault is with my installed 
help2man-1.40.12 or the distfile for 1.40.13.

Stuck? Or does portmaster continue as it should?

How do I get past this impasse?  I suppose I could use "-x misc/help2man" in 
portmaster commands, but don't really want to do that if 1.40.13 is good but my 
installation of 1.40.12 is corrupted.
