It looks like the stable/Etoile part the port is checking out was deleted in r3350 (2008-07-26) due to bitrot. The port (and probably all ports doing Subversion checkouts) should have been using a peg revision instead of an operative revision. Does MacPorts even support using peg revisions?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

For Etoile, we should just update to the latest released version, 0.4.1, instead of checking out from svn.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Actually I cannot update this port because I cannot build its dependencies (#20775). I'm attaching a patch which removes the Subversion fetching mechanism and updates the version to 0.4.1 along with its checksums. But I cannot go further than "port extract".

I have filed #20777 to fix the underlying Subversion fetch issue in base.

I got the following similar error:

To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>

on my PPC G4 running 10.5.8. There are a few more "DEBUG" lines in the error message I received.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Yes, MacPorts 1.8 prints more debug information than MacPorts 1.7 did.

The resolution to this bug is to update Etoile to a later version.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Has duplicate #25272.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

For the record, I believe that adding the following lines to download from GitHub will work, but I also cannot get the gnustep-base port to install to verify if it builds at all.
