Comment:

A file not being available on a packages server is not a bug. See #68869. Also, packages servers are used for all ports; they are not specified in individual ports. In the case of stardict, the packages are not on the server because we believe we are not legally allowed to distribute them:

$ macports-infrastructure/jobs/port_binary_distributable.tcl -v stardict
"stardict" is not distributable because its license "gpl" conflicts with license "EPL-1" of dependency "graphviz"

A file not being available on a distfiles server can be a problem. In this case, I don't know why you were not able to fetch from SourceForge; I am able to. If you want help diagnosing why you couldn't fetch, attach your main.log. Even though you couldn't fetch from SourceForge, it wasn't a problem since we mirror distfiles, so you were able to fetch it from the mirrors, and the build succeeded. So I don't see any bug here.

    initial v1  
    11When trying to install stardict, `sudo port install stardict` returned error message indicating several checksum mismatches.

    3 I followed the firstaid guide in [https://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#checksums/ FAQ:checksum], and it went through quite a list of mirrors until a successful download and install.

    5 Upon referencing [https://trac.macports.org/wiki/MisbehavingServers/ Wiki:Misbehaving Servers], I believe some of the download sites are no longer available. (e.g. http://jog.id.packages.macports.org/macports/packages/stardict returned 404). Maybe it would be nice to update them in the portfile.
