They updated gettext to 12.1 last August. The current version of gettext is 0.13.1 and that is a massive thing to move to. You don't stand a chance of getting 11.5 fixed but some days you might be lucky. The current version of fetchmail is 6.2.5_1 and you will probably have the same problem with suggestions. The interface to the gettext library has changed and you have to update everything that uses it. You may not be able to do it without upgrading to one of the current system releases. I would think that it is obvious that you haven't updated your port tree for some time. A normal solution would be to tell you to cvsup ports-all, rebuild the INDEXs, and try to rebuild. When I did that on an AMD 1600 XP running 5.2-current, the rebuild of most of my ports was 1-2 days. My 2400 running 4.9-stable used about 1/3 less time. Getting current on the ports could be only done with a great deal of thought. You might find 11.5 as a package and install it. That would be a lot faster than bringing your port system to a current configuration. If you do that, move to using portupgrade. It makes updating much easier.
