I downloaded http://cpan.cs.uu.nl/modules/by-authors/id/P/PV/PVANDRY/gettext-1.07.tar.gz <http://cpan.cs.uu.nl/modules/by-authors/id/P/PV/PVANDRY/gettext-1.07.tar.gz> via curl, which worked fine.

% curl -O http://cpan.cs.uu.nl/modules/by-authors/id/P/PV/PVANDRY/gettext-1.07.tar.gz <http://cpan.cs.uu.nl/modules/by-authors/id/P/PV/PVANDRY/gettext-1.07.tar.gz>

I moved that file into /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/perl5 and changed the owner to macports:wheel. I then ran ’sudo port upgrade p5.28-locale-gettext’, which now worked!
