Please remember to preview and use WikiFormatting, fill in the Port field, and cc the maintainer.

I can download the source. I notice the port is out of date so I updated it for 1.9.3a (r79763). I download a smaller source without libraries. Could you sync the port tree and try again?

Tried running self update and receive message below. I have tried wgrib2 again and receive the same message as previous.

It appears that you are behind a firewall. You cannot get the port tree through rsync. Can you get the source by hand? FAQ might be of your help.
