"pkg-static: POST-INSTALL script failed" during poudriere based builds: gettext-tools install can attempt use of indexinfo before print/indexinfo is installed for the build

[Mark Millard]

Looks like print/indexinfo is not being installed before
installing gettext-tools tries to use indexinfo in various
contexts.

Looks like devel/gettext-tools/Makefile needs something
like:

BUILD_DEPENDS+= indexinfo:print/indexinfo

Although this might be viewed as a /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk
issue that needs such instead. As things are there is:

.if defined(INFO)
RUN_DEPENDS+=   indexinfo:print/indexinfo
. . .

but there is no BUILD_DEPENDS addition there.


The poudriere run will likely be going for a couple of days.
There could be more examples in the 476 ports it is trying
to build, possibly things other than involving gettext-tools.
(I'm trying to update an old PowerMac powerpc64 context to
FreeBSD:14 based ABI builds for ports.)
