Please un-confuse me re: lang/tcl85

A port I'm trrying to install (in the process of re-installing all ports
on my work desktop) has lang/tcl85 as a dependency.

No problem; I have already performed this exercise on my laptop, so I
know it works.

But then I hit:

===>>> Port directory: /usr/ports/lang/tcl85

===>>> Starting check for build dependencies
===>>> Gathering dependency list for lang/tcl85 from ports
===>>> No dependencies for lang/tcl85

Hmm... that seems a little odd -- why would lang/tcl85 want something
from lang/tcl86?

So I got to poking around -- I was going to show the svn commands
& output, but that got very cluttered very fast -- I found some Odd
Things:

* Dependency of lang/tcl75 on lang/tcl86/files/patch-uk-locale was
  added in r303095 | mi | 2012-08-24 10:16:37 -0700 (Fri, 24 Aug 2012)
  (which also added the file itself).

* The file was removed in r304506 | gahr | 2012-09-19 06:11:09 -0700
  (Wed, 19 Sep 2012), as part of the "Update to 8.6.b.3".

I rather suspect that Something isn't quite right, here.

Any suggestions for a circumvention in the mean time?

Thanks!

Peace,
david
