Description
In attempting to install libgnomeprintui, "sudo port install libgnomeprintui" failed while installing the dependency "icon-naming-utils". It fails during the "fetch" phase, since it cannot download the package. I looked in the portfile for "icon-naming-utils" and noted that it expects a .bz2 file from http://tango.freedesktop.org/releases/. However, not bzip2 file is posted there; instead one can download the same version as http://tango.freedesktop.org/releases/. I downloaded the file, created a local repository and edited the portfile to point to the correct source, and used it to install the dependency. The portfile could be fixed on MacPorts by setting the "use_bzip2" flag to "no," and updating the checksums to match the gzip'ed file, in the icon-naming-utils portfile. A portfile is attached reflecting these changes.
