using osx 10.6.5, fresh install of macports 1.9.2 trying to install GIT. install gets to the DB46 package and fails with error:

the following location is referenced in a couple of other tickets about this patch (some of which claim a bad checksum) and reference this url: ​http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/db/update/4.6.21/

My assumption is that this is now failing because that url is invalid now. Any advice though would be great!

Thanks -Chris

My guess would be that you (or some process running on your machine) deleted the distfiles for db46 but didn't delete the statefile, which says that the fetch phase is complete. Try cleaning (as suggested in the FAQ).
