Hmm.  This doesn’t seem to update the version other than generic 11.0 being the version and not the version 11.3 which seems the necessary minimum.  The system is certainly 11.5.2.

Is the 3rd digit confusing something?

Already up to date.

Ok, with some edits for brevity, it seems fink still thinks I am on 11.0??  I get the same failure.  

My system perl seems to be correct for 5.30.2.

I have locale-gettext-pm-5302 installed.  It seems that help2man-perl5282 does not have a 5302 version?  It isn’t a pm5302 but a perl5302?  The package help2man should check for the fink system perl.  I think I have the system perl set right as 5.30.2.  But the Hellman 
% fink list system | grep perl
 i 	system-perl	5.30.2-1	[virtual package representing perl]
 p 	system-perl5302		[virtual package]
