source retrievals at gnu.org fail

[rattus@…]

I'm not sure why this is exactly, but it seems that sources located at ftp.gnu.org fail to be retrieved correctly.

The packages, binutils-2.15 and libiconv-1.10 at least, download but curl does not exit. It sits at 100% complete and never exits.

If the packages are downloaded and placed in the correct place outside of the port fetching process, they seem to fail checksum.

This is a new system, so I shouldn't have any dependancies.

Example: ---> Fetching libiconv DEBUG: Executing com.apple.fetch (libiconv) ---> libiconv-1.10.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/libiconv ---> Attempting to fetch libiconv-1.10.tar.gz from ​ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libiconv

Other non-gnu.org sources are retrieved without issue.

Here's another one.

Could the problem be in the curl provided by apple in xcode 2.2.1? Something else perhaps?

---> pcre-6.4.tar.bz2 doesn't seem to exist in /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/pcre ---> Attempting to fetch pcre-6.4.tar.bz2 from ​ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/

Is the system still at 10.4.3 (as opposed to 10.4.4)? If so, either make sure you have the 2005-009 security update or update to 10.4.4 (libcurl was updated in the security update to fix this kind of issue).

this was indeed fixed by the curl upgrade in 10.4.4.
