Hi,

Looks like the man page file htop.1.gz is not properly installed in the
stage directory? No sure, just a guess... but my take would be to
temporarily modify the Makefile in your /usr/dports/sysutils/htop and then
comment-out the line from man/man1/htop.1.gz to #man/man1/htop.1.gz and
then perform the following commands.

# make distclean
# make makesum
# make install

If the problem still persists then reach out to the maintainer of htop (the
email address that is in the Makefile).

Thanks,
Archimedes
