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. -- Daniel J.
