netpbm returned: Subversion check out failed

[macports@…]

When I try to install netpbm, I always get an error telling me that macports cannot check out the code from the svn repository. I guess the issue is similar to #28590 and #32000. However, I did not find any hint on how to fix that issue, except a "try again later". I've tried it now for over a month and the error didn't disappear. Actually, I just wanted to upgrade LaTeX, which sadly somehow depends on this port.

Here's the log:

Thanks a lot!

It works fine for me. There must be a local problem with your network. Is it possible to try on a different network?

[macports@…]

You're right, this was a network problem. I actually tried that from multiple networks, always with the same result. However, I finally found the source of the problem: There was a strange rule in my firewall preventing connections from Terminal via svn... It must have been me who put that there, so I'm really sorry for the confusion! Thanks a lot for your help!
