Comment (by dgilman):

 Not sure what the antecedent of "that" is - you mean p5-db_file? The issue
 here isn't new perl vs old perl - it seems like perl itself has a
 dependency on gdbm and bdb. Take a look at the Debian perl file for perl:
 https://sources.debian.org/src/perl/5.28.1-3/debian/control/ It has build-
 time deps on both gdbm and bdb (libdb). I don't have homebrew installed
 but it seems that their perl is linking against Apple's bdb in /usr.

 So to fix this bug you either need to add in bdb as a dependency of the
 perl interpreter or disable the distribution of DB_File with the perl
 interpreter. I can confirm perl 5.28 won't fix this as I ran the test
 suite myself and saw it broken there.
