Re: Ticket #27620 (closed defect: worksforme) - the problem persists,

It seems that the patch request gets redirected. cf

The patch files that end up in /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/db4/4.6.21_6 are html, not patch files. Downloading the patchfiles manually as indicated by the workaround does allow the build to proceed. The defect is that the bad ones should not have been there in the first place.

You need to selfupdate; the current portfile does not use that URL.
