failed to install db46 (for git-core)

[Dennis C]

Greetings;

Does anyone know of another way to fix this?  When I try it, it takes me to
a "Sign in with your Apple ID"
page and then to an "Apple Developer Registration" "Personal Profile" page
and finally "We are
experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again later." "Please return
to the Member Center and try
again." and it seems to be a vicious cycle!

Thanks,
