ffmpeg fails to fetch patch-configure.diff (Error: Target org.macports.fetch returned: fetch failed)

10.4.11 + xcode 2.5

when trying to upgrade ffmpeg to latest version I get this:

$ sudo port upgrade ffmpeg
--->  Computing dependencies for ffmpeg
--->  Fetching ffmpeg
--->  Attempting to fetch patch-configure.diff from http://aarnet.au.distfiles.macports.org/pub/macports/mpdistfiles/ffmpeg

Error: Target org.macports.fetch returned: fetch failed
Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1

seems like there is no such file available, so why is it asking for it?

have tried uninstalling, cleaning and removing all dependents on ffmpeg and re-installing, same message comes up...? any ideas..

also have checked internet connection, and manually visited those sites in a browser, they are fine, but that file is non-existant.

okay... fixed it by doing the following:

1. manually downloaded <patch-configure.diff> from this ticket: ​http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16101, it's the last attachment.

2. did this:

$ cd $(port dir ffmpeg) $ sudo cp ~/Desktop/patch-configure.diff files/

3. port install ffmpeg now works.

closed?
