(In reply to w.schwarzenfeld from comment #2)
Perhaps this was just fixed in a newer awscli version.
Comment 4 Walter Schwarzenfeld 2018-02-28 01:25:28 UTC 
Ok, so I close here. If there still problems, please reopen.

Comment 9 dewayne 2019-08-01 00:18:19 UTC 
(In reply to Bradley T. Hughes from comment #7)
Would it be "better" to use 
DOCS_USES=              groff
like databases/rrdtool uses it to restrict the dependency requirement?
Comment 10 Bradley T. Hughes freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-08-27 21:42:59 UTC 
Yes, that's a good idea. I'm going to make the change now :)
