Actually, all I had to do to fix the problem was: sudo port sync and then all installed w/no pain. --b On Jan 6, 2007, at 11:59 AM, Arnaud Delobelle wrote:

Hi,
I am repeating instructions for a G4 PB that I used to install the same configuration on my G5 Desktop.
I began by installing port (via the 1.3.1 dmg and then running the selfupdate; port --version returns 1.320).
I've tried to install xemacs via
sudo port -v install xemacs +sumo +mule (just like I did on my other machine, about 1 mo ago), and it eventually dies with:
--> Attempting to fetch xemacs-mule-sumo-2006-05-10.tar.gz from http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/xemacs/packages/
If you go to the address above, you'll find no xemacs-mule- sumo-2006-05-10.tar.gz but an xemacs-sumo-2006-12-21.tar.gz instead. This is consistent with the fact it worked a month ago (before 2006-12-21). The Portfile needs to be updated to point at this, or better, to point at xemacs-sumo.tar.gz which seems to be a link to the latest build. But then shouldn't this port be called xemacs- devel?

any idea what's going wrong? I'd be very grateful for your input.
Ask the port maintainer to fix it!
