i was feeling the same way, as 4.9.8 seems to be where the
dependancy changed.  I reinstalled 5.8.2 and did it from tar
using all the defaults. that time it gave me no problems
whatsoever, although i did not try doing a 'upgrade'.  i just
installed ic 5.0.0 from scratch in the same dir as where 4.9.8
had been but deleted the entire directory so that everything would
be replaced.  then i just replaced the interchange.cfg and my
UserTags and installed a couple of other CPAN modules that it
complained about and did not have to run makecat again.
