Error installing larn (fetch failed)

[darwinports@…]

Running MacPorts 1.4 on G5 iMac, tried to install larn, got a "fetch failed" error. The verbose log is below:

$ sudo port -v install larn

Oops, I am actually running v1.5.2, not v1.4.

Hi, me again (the ticket creator). Further investigation shows that the larn distfile really doesn't seem to be stored at the main repository, where the portfile was looking for it (​http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/distfiles/* )

I eventually googled up and downloaded a copy of the distfile at

​http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/master.us.finkmirrors.net/distfiles/larn-4.6.2-RELEASE.tar.bz2

The port install command worked fine after that, but it would be nice if there were a pointer to a mirror or two, or if the distfile could be placed back on the main server.
