before this happens, macports should try to install perl5.8, but it
doesn't because the port uses depends_lib instead of depends_lib-
append to specify its dependencies.

Can you elaborate? I know to use depends_lib-append when using variants, but where should it have been used (p5-locale-gettext?) and why in this
case?

It should have been used instead of depends_lib because the perl5 group code already sets depends_lib to pull in perl5.8

If you set depends_lib again, you wipe out whatever was set before.

So, as a general rule, if you're using any of the group code, you should stick with the -append versions.
