py25-modulegraph-devel svn external broken (again?)

[walter_mundt@…]

I'm running into the same issue described in #18233 again just now. py25-modulegraph-devel (depended on by a number of useful Python packages including pyobjc and py2app) fails to install because one of the SVN externals links in its checkout doesn't appear to work...

A paste from the end of 'port -d install py25-modulegraph-devel': (long first line broken for readability)

DEBUG: Assembled command: 'cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build\

Fetching external item into 'trunk/ez_setup'

And some more info:

Note that I have tried to access the  svn:// repository from two different servers in different parts of the country and behind different firewalls, so I don't think network configuration is an issue this time.

I can't do anything about upstream's svn server.
