fetch phase incorrect error for bogus filename

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

While creating a new portfile, I inadvertently misnamed the port. It happened to be attempting to pull from SourceForge, but the error I received indicated nothing was wrong with the file name being requested. It took a eureka moment to realize I had misnamed it.

The confusing error which I had received is:

Warning: No mirror sites on file for class sourceforge
Error: No defined site for tag: patch_sites, using master_sites
Error: Target org.macports.fetch returned: can't read "host": no such variable

I just checked: the portfile does work in 1.7.1 (so it's not one of my mysterious Tcl parsing mistakes).

• name: libusb-legacy
• version: 0.1.12
• master_sites: sourceforge:libusb

Can you include a portfile that demonstrates this issue? I tried changing the name of a sourceforge port with no such results.

I'd say sure, but as I'm back here trying to do info libusb-legacy on it, I got a warning that my portindex was corrupted. It seems that this was the problem as my original botched portfile is not causing the same error after rerunning portindex.

I'll go ahead and put this as worksforme.
