Error: org.macports.checksum for port t4k_common returned: Unable to verify file checksums

Description

Thanks for MacPorts. It's wonderful software. I think I found a bug though. I see some older (closed) tickets for things related to this, but no current tickets. I did "Clean and try again" with the following:

$ sudo port selfupdate
$ sudo port upgrade outdated
$ sudo port clean --all t4k_common
$ sudo port -v checksum t4k_common

I checked the Problem Hotlist. And I did a Search to see if a Trac ticket has already been filed (which is how I noticed some older closed tickets related to this).

When I attempt to install t4k_common, I get the following error:

--->  Verifying checksums for t4k_common
--->  Checksumming t4k_common-0.1.1.tar.gz
Error: Checksum (sha1) mismatch for t4k_common-0.1.1.tar.gz

When I saw the error "...non-matching file appears to be HTML...", I checked https://trac.macports.org/wiki/MisbehavingServers and https://trac.macports.org/wiki/ProblemHotlist#fetch-failures and tried to get the distfile from elsewhere manually. But I think I see the problem when I visit http://distfiles.macports.org/t4k_common/ and find there an html file:

http://distfiles.macports.org/t4k_common/t4k_common-0.1.1.tar.gz.html

which takes me to a page that reads in part:

"Login

Hope this ticket helps resolve the problem.

The original files for t4k_common are hosted on a service called alioth. Unfortunately, a couple years ago, the alioth service started requiring logins to download some files. This was reported to us in #45134 in regard to the axel port. I reported this to the developers of axel at the time, but received no response. Our ticket was closed because the axel project moved to GitHub and was thus no longer affected by the alioth problem.

If we can figure out how to contact the maintainers of the alioth service, we should report this problem to them. Or we could report the problem to the developers of t4k_common and let them deal with contacting their hosting provider.
