slime: CVS login failed

[charles@…]

I get the following error message when installing slime:

Macintosh:~ charleseliason$ sudo port install slime
--->  Computing dependencies for slime
--->  Fetching slime
Error: Target org.macports.fetch returned: CVS login failed
Log for slime is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_slime/slime/main.log
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I had searched previous tickets in reference to this issue and had thought that this error was fixed in version 2.0.3. I have verified version 2.0.3 by:

Macintosh:~ charleseliason$ sudo port selfupdate
Password:
--->  Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
MacPorts base version 2.0.2 installed,
MacPorts base version 2.0.3 downloaded.
--->  Updating the ports tree
--->  MacPorts base is outdated, installing new version 2.0.3
Installing new MacPorts release in /opt/local as root:admin; permissions 0755; Tcl-Package in /Library/Tcl

I am attaching my log file.

Thanks,
Charles

I thought that I might add that I am running mac osx 10.5.8 and had downloaded the dmg file from the mac ports home page installation for lion.

Thanks, Charles

You may be thinking of #31073, a general problem fetching from version control systems including CVS, which was introduced in MacPorts 2.0.2 an fixed in MacPorts 2.0.3. That problem had produced the strange error message " does not exist in". The error you are experiencing here is a different error: "CVS login failed". The log elaborates: "connect to common-lisp.net(74.115.254.14):2401 failed: Operation timed out". I am able to fetch slime just fine right now. Can you clean and try again to verify it was not just a temporary problem with their server?

sudo port clean slime

If that does not work, are you on a corporate or otherwise restricted network that might be blocking access to CVS's port 2401? Try accessing other CVS servers, or ask your network administrators if you don't know.
