BUG: readline-5.1 unable to fetch

[garlandkr@…]

I'm actually using DarwinPorts 1.310

root# port install readline ---> Fetching readline ---> Attempting to fetch readline51-001 from ​ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/readline-5.1-patches/ ---> Attempting to fetch readline51-001 from ​http://distfiles-od.opendarwin.org/readline ---> Attempting to fetch readline51-001 from ​http://distfiles-msn.opendarwin.org/readline ---> Attempting to fetch readline51-001 from ​http://distfiles-bay13.opendarwin.org/readline ---> Attempting to fetch readline51-001 from ​http://distfiles-od.opendarwin.org/ ---> Attempting to fetch readline51-001 from ​http://distfiles-msn.opendarwin.org/ ---> Attempting to fetch readline51-001 from ​http://distfiles-bay13.opendarwin.org/ Error: Target com.apple.fetch returned: fetch failed Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I have had no problems with installing other ports, probably around 30+ so far.

I was able to get it working by downloading the patch files myself from ​ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/readline-5.1-patches (readline51-00[1-4]) and put them in /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/readline

having same problem; thanks to reporter for providing workaround, which works fine.

I think Eric is digdog, if not I'm cc'ing also.

FYI: I am not eric, I am Kevin Fyure.

[markd@…]

Oh sorry Kevin. Well I had some trouble couple of weeks ago or so but now it is fetching fine. Is this solved for you now?

[trac.macosforge.org@…]

this ended up being Ticket #10832

[markd@…]

So why keep a bug open on readline? I'd guess there are at least hundreds of ports that exhibit the same behavior.

[markd@…]

Or maybe you meant it should be marked duplicate of #10832. That's what I think.
