This works for me but it looks like you may not have gotten a good/complete svn download as the file referenced does exist in the distribution.

Another such instance was reported in #17582.

Please use

sudo port clean --all ffmpeg

and try again.

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

After further consideration and some testing, it is apparent that if the svn checkout in fetch is interrupted before it is complete then subsequent installation attempts will believe that the previous fetch was successful because the distribution directory exists and will skip checking out a new one.

This would lead to problems as described in this ticket and in #17582.

Although the problem should be fixed by using

sudo port clean --all ffmpeg

why should anyone have to do this?

Committed changes to pre-fetch and fetch in r45991 that make a rudimentary check to see if a previous fetch completed successfully and if not force a new one.

Ccing reporter of #17582 for closure.
