This is a bug in the Perl 5.18 Text::Wrap core module, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1067285 for details.

perl@: Can you provide a fix as soon as possible? Thanks.

Is there a fix available ?

From what I can see, the fix is to add a dependency on textproc/p5-Text-Tabs+Wrap, I don't really see what perl@ has to do about it.

Upstream's Text::Wrap copy is broken and unlikely to be fixed anytime soon. So any port that is affected by that upstream bug (which worked fine with 5.16, btw.) has to pull in an external dependency instead? Is this really the way, we want to handle it?

A fix is supplied in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1067285#c2. I was unable to find a meaningful diff in the cpan browser, though, since most of cpan's promised functionality does not seem to work.

Explicit usage of textproc/p5-Text-Tabs+Wrap fixes the issue. 

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196100 contains the patch for devel/bugzilla44
