Hello,

I tried to install py-psycopg2 today from a fresh MacPorts 1.5.0 system and received the following:

# port -v install py-psycopg2 ---> Fetching py-psycopg2 ---> psycopg2-2.0.5.1.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist in /opt/local/ var/macports/distfiles/python ---> Attempting to fetch psycopg2-2.0.5.1.tar.gz from http:// initd.org/pub/software/psycopg/ % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 ---> Attempting to fetch psycopg2-2.0.5.1.tar.gz from http:// svn.macports.org/repository/macports/distfiles/py-psycopg2 % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 ---> Attempting to fetch psycopg2-2.0.5.1.tar.gz from http:// svn.macports.org/repository/macports/distfiles/general/ % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 ---> Attempting to fetch psycopg2-2.0.5.1.tar.gz from http:// svn.macports.org/repository/macports/downloads/py-psycopg2 % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 Error: Target org.macports.fetch returned: fetch failed Warning: the following items did not execute (for py-psycopg2): org.macports.activate org.macports.fetch org.macports.extract org.macports.checksum org.macports.patch org.macports.configure org.macports.build org.macports.destroot org.macports.install Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I poked around a bit at the MacPorts repository URLs but I couldn't locate the precise py-psycopg2 URL. I also tried changing the Portfile to download directly from the source site but to no avail, so I ended up downloading it manually and then I stuffed the tar.gz file in:

/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/python

That worked for me, but sorry I wasn't able to figure out a better way to modify the Portfile to get this to work.

I fixed the download location in r27198. Also, psychopg2 has been updated to 2.0.6; the maintainer (whom I'm Cc'ing) may wish to update the portfile.
