While installing subversion port, neon was reported as failing
checksum. � After that, any attempt to proceed shows this:

~ sudo port install -dv subversion
--->� Verifying checksum(s) for neon
Error: Target com.apple.checksum returned: Could not open file:
/opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/neon/neon-0.25.5.tar.gz
Error: The following dependencies failed to build: neon
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

How do I get past neon?

I've had the same problem, but I've found a workaround.�It seems that port is trying to download�neon-0.26.2.tar.gz from�http://www.webdav.org/neon/, but that site is down at the moment (if you enter the address in a webbrowser, then a page appears where it says: "webdav.org expired on 12/16/2006 and is pending renewal or deletion."). This is what has worked for me:

1. Remove any existing neon installation with "sudo port -f uninstall neon" followed by "sudo port clean --all neon"

2. Download�neon-0.26.2.tar.gz from�http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/master.us.finkmirrors.net/distfiles/%5Bpage=70%5D and copy it to�/opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/neon

3. Do "sudo port install neon".

Now "sudo port install subversion" works fine.
