 Here's the relevant snippet from a {{{port fetch}}}:

 {{{

 }}}

 {{{error:1407742E:SSL}}} appears all over Google and the Trac here when
 the client software does not support TLS1.2. I have seen #58934 and
 #55989. These lead me to believe that an out-of-date (i.e. system)
 {{{curl}}} is being used to fetch files over HTTPS.

 I have the MacPorts {{{curl}}} installed which running manually does not
 give an SSL error:

 {{{
 $ /opt/local/bin/curl -O
 https://github.com/mdbtools/mdbtools/releases/download/v0.9.3/mdbtools-0.9.3.tar.gz
   % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time
 Current
                                  Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left

 1573
 }}}

 Whereas:

 {{{
 $ /usr/bin/curl -O
 https://github.com/mdbtools/mdbtools/releases/download/v0.9.3/mdbtools-0.9.3.tar.gz

 curl: (35) error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert
 protocol version
 }}}

 I therefore suspect there is some kind of path issue that prevents the
 MacPorts {{{curl}}} from being used in a {{{fetch}}} operation.
