Installing Apache2 fails due to unfetchable files
Hi, I'm trying to install Apache2, and it is failing with the following error:
---> Attempting to fetch db-4.4.20.tar.gz from http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/downloads/db44 Error: Target org.macports.fetch returned: fetch failed
Browsing to this location reveals that there is indeed nothing there. I have run port selfupdate, and port sync (for good luck rather than actual use), and believe I am up to date with everything. Any suggestions please? Thanks, S

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. S [1] http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/12867

Managed to install with the following command: sudo port install apache2 +no_bdb We'll now see if I actually need BDB. S

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.

I'll resolve this ticket.
