Hi Valeri:
Although that did not solve the problem, it made me consider an additional
change.
Switching 'python ='  to 'python3.8 =' fixes the problem.
Also clarifies for me the x = is not a random label but the name of an
actual package.

The dependency now looks like:

  python3.8 = {
    version = "3.8_6,0";
    origin = "lang/python38";
    },


Thanks for the help.
