xterm-229 port fails to do checksumming

[andrelop@…]

I'm using MacOSX 10.5.1 (Leopard) fully updated os of today from Apple's Software Update on a 13" Intel-based white MacBook. I'm trying to install the cssh port and while downloading, compiling and installing its dependencies through MacPorts I stumbled upon the following error :

[Users/andrelop] > selfupdate

MacPorts base version 1.600 installed

Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.600

The MacPorts installation is not outdated and so was not updated
selfupdate done!
[Users/andrelop] > install xterm
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for xterm
Error: Target org.macports.checksum returned: Could not open file: /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/xterm/xterm-229.tgz
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I can see that xterm-229.tgz was under the /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/xterm/xterm directory instead of the /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/xterm directory.

Providing a little bit more of information :

[Users/andrelop] > clean xterm ---> Cleaning xterm [Users/andrelop] > install xterm ---> Fetching xterm ---> Attempting to fetch xterm-229.tgz from ​ftp://invisible-island.net/xterm/ ---> Attempting to fetch xterm-229.tgz from ​http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/distfiles/xterm ---> Attempting to fetch xterm-229.tgz from ​http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/distfiles/general/ ---> Attempting to fetch xterm-229.tgz from ​http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/downloads/xterm Error: Target org.macports.fetch returned: fetch failed Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

So, it seems that it's actually not a matter of checksumming, but a fetching problem. I would be glad if someone could tell me how one could proceed to try to fix this problem.

I can get past the previously reported error if I copy the /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/xterm/xterm/xterm-229.tgz file directly to the /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/xterm/ directory (IOW, if I put it one directory level before).

Anyway, I get a compilation error after getting through the step explained above. More details about the compilation error are given in the ticket #14000, as this ticket is about the fetching problem and #14000 is about the compilation error only. They are separated issues and each deserve a separated ticket.

Fetching and checksumming works for me. I am unable to reproduce your problem.

The file was correctly downloaded to /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/xterm/xterm-229.tgz
