Fixed error points in scripting once an error occurs even if circumstances change.

[trog24 (Frank J. R. Hanstick)]

I get the same problem with ghostscript-8.14.tar.gz as with Menumeters (bug 3222) when trying to install blender, namely:

---> Verifying checksum(s) for ghostscript Error: Target com.apple.checksum returned: Could not open file: /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/ ghostscript/ghostscript-8.14.tar.gz Error: The following dependencies failed to build: ftgl doxygen ghostscript graphviz tk tcl teTeX texi2html texinfo freetype python23

though the path was correct; however, there is something I noticed about the sequencing prior to this error which may be of some help. On the first attempt to install blender, there was a successful load of ghostscript-8.14.tar.gz before the checksum failure; but, all subsequent attempts at installing began at the checksum verification of ghostscript-8.14.tar.gz, even after I removed the ghostscript folder with the intention of forcing a new fetch which did not occur. The script just went straight to the checksum verification. I then created a new ghostscript folder and manually downloaded ghostscript-8.14.tar.gz (opening it with Stuffit Delux) only to encounter another checksum error when trying to install ghostscript via blender or trying to install ghostscript directly. I did a self-update to darwinports to ensure the most current version and a -d self-update to ensure the most current source listings. The only change after the update was that ghostscript-8.51.tar.gz got the checksum error rather than ghostscript-8.14.tar.gz. What is puzzling is that there was no attempt to fetch the later version of ghostscript prior to checksum verification.

A similar single point error occurs when trying to install pkgconfig-0.17.2.tar.gz except that this this error was:

---> Fetching pkgconfig ---> Attempting to fetch pkgconfig-0.17.2.tar.gz from ​http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/ ---> Attempting to fetch pkgconfig-0.17.2.tar.gz from ​http://distfiles-od.opendarwin.org/ ---> Attempting to fetch pkgconfig-0.17.2.tar.gz from ​http://distfiles-msn.opendarwin.org/ ---> Attempting to fetch pkgconfig-0.17.2.tar.gz from ​http://distfiles-bay13.opendarwin.org/ Error: Target com.apple.fetch returned: fetch failed Error: The following dependencies failed to build: libgnomeprintui libgnomeprint libgnomecups control-center nautilus eel librsvg metacity gnome-applets libxklavier gail atk glib2 pkgconfig libgtop gnome-terminal vte gnome-session gnome-panel gnome-menus evolution-data-server libsoup libwnck gnome-desktop gnome-backgrounds intltool p5-xml-parser perl5.8 scrollkeeper docbook- xml-scrollkeeper docbook-xsl libxslt libxml2 gnome-themes gtk-engines2 gtk2 pango Xft2 fontconfig expat freetype xrender render tiff startup-notification libgnomeui gnome-keyring gnome-icon-theme hicolor-icon-theme libbonoboui libgnomecanvas libglade2 libart_lgpl libgnome esound audiofile automake autoconf libtool gnome-vfs gnome-mime-data desktop-file-utils libbonobo orbit2 libidl popt gconf shared-mime-info libexif cups-headers libgsf

The same error occurs for the installation of gnumeric and genius. The fetch attempt occurs even after I have manually downloaded pkgconfig-0.17.2.tar.gz (from ​http://distifles-od.opendarwin.org/) into the pkgconfig folder within distifles.

This bug is invalid. See my comments on:

#3222

Also, you should list a specific package in your Summary when reporting a bug.

Also, your problem fetching builds would seem to be some sort of network error, rather than a build problem, because the file definitely exists at the locations which failed, and I could download pkgconfig just fine.

really looks like a network error!
