metis version 5.1.0 can't be fetched

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

I thought that my MacPorts installation will finally be able to upgrade metis - since it wasn't able to do so since it was committed to MacPorts' SVN - but somehow it always fails. None of the accessed mirrors seems to supply the needed file. (Could be the one mirror which supplies the tarball is denied by my "Little Snitch", but I wonder where actually the correct tarballs resides for sure...)

$ sudo port upgrade metis

The freebsd servers do not have this version of the metis distfile; I have removed that fetch group from the port in r105327.

Yes, indeed, Little Snitch was the culprit here. Thanks for giving me this info! (Now the port got installed successfully.)
