I'm trying to install Apache2, and it is failing with the following error:

Browsing to this location reveals that there is indeed nothing there.
The files are not supposed to be there (in the MacPorts repository). They are supposed to be on the Oracle web site. MacPorts just always tries the MacPorts repository as a backup in case it can't find the files on the primary sites. The problem is that the portfile still references the old SleepyCat download location. BerkeleyDB has since been acquired by Oracle. Erick fixed the fetch failure in r34991.
This looks, at first glance, like Bug #12867 [1], but I think it's different as #12867 deals with checksums... and these files are simply missing.

I'll resolve this ticket.
