Note that I changed the name of downloaded source file from "tar.gz" to "SpatiaLite-c7f67038bf.tar.gz" to match the Portfile.

The file that got downloaded when you went to the web page in a web browser should already have been "SpatiaLite-c7f67038bf.tar.gz"; you should not have needed to rename it. And the checksums of the file that got downloaded should have matched what is in the Portfile; I tried it just now and verified that they do. Maybe try downloading again. Or maybe try a different web browser. (I used Safari on macOS High Sierra.)

Just passed by to report that I am experiencing that error as well, which is preventing me from upgrading gdal.

I was just wondering if there is any workaround so far?

I'm experiencing the same issue. I provide my build log file.

Reporting that this issue was suddenly solved on my system - spatialite is up-to-date and running fine.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I asked on the spatialite discussion group whether we could manually mirror the distfile or at least manually put it on the buildbot machines so that we could build and distribute binaries.

​https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/spatialite-users/vwf3Q22HpgU

The developers have not responded to these questions. I did then put the distfile on the build machines manually and trigger builds for spatialite, so binaries are now available for those OS versions for which the build machines are online.

The spatialite license should permit us to distribute the source as well, so I've now placed the source tarball on our distfiles server too.

If the port needs to be updated to an even newer pre-release commit, let me know so I can manually mirror that distfile too.
