The distfile fetched from the location mentioned in your log as well as the distfiles on some mirrors I tested have the correct checksum.

Perhaps you had a network glitch. Please try again:

$ sudo port clean --dist libpaper
$ sudo port selfupdate
$ sudo port install libpaper

In the future please remember that priority high is reserved for MacPort team members and that you don't need to Cc yourself if you open a ticket. For good keyword have a look at the DraftKeywordGuidelines.

I cleaned libpaper and attempted installing again to no avail:

$ sudo port clean --dist libpaper
$ sudo port selfupdate
$ sudo port install libpaper

I'm not sure what the differences are but when installing libpaper, macports is looking for libpaper-1.1.24_0.darwin_13.x86_64.tbz2 and can only find it at ​http://ftp.sk.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libp/libpaper/ while all other mirrors only appear to host up to libpaper-1.1.24_0.darwin_12.x86_64. So when you say you've tested mirrors, I wonder if it's the ..._13... version of libpaper that has issues while all others check out fine. Aslo as an FYI libpaper is a dependency I'm installing for octave-devel.

These files:

libpaper-1.1.24_0.darwin_10.x86_64.tbz2
libpaper-1.1.24_0.darwin_11.x86_64.tbz2
libpaper-1.1.24_0.darwin_12.x86_64.tbz2

are the binary packages macports provides for snow leopard, lion and mountain lion. The file

libpaper-1.1.24_0.darwin_13.x86_64.tbz2

is the package for mavericks. We don't provide binary packages for mavericks yet. Therefore no such file exists at: ​http://ftp.sk.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libp/libpaper/ (you can check this in your browser). Macports should download the source archive (libpaper_1.1.24.tar.gz) if it can't find a binary package. The checksum is for this source archive and it does match:

$ port distfiles libpaper
--->  Distfiles for libpaper
[libpaper_1.1.24.tar.gz] /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/libpaper/libpaper_1.1.24.tar.gz
 rmd160: 12e7234616bfe648337381c7c07e7de7bcfbea28
  http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libp/libpaper/libpaper_1.1.24.tar.gz
  http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libp/libpaper/libpaper_1.1.24.tar.gz
  http://ftp.bg.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libp/libpaper/libpaper_1.1.24.tar.gz
  http://ftp.cl.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libp/libpaper/libpaper_1.1.24.tar.gz
  http://ftp.cz.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libp/libpaper/libpaper_1.1.24.tar.gz
  http://ftp.sk.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libp/libpaper/libpaper_1.1.24.tar.gz
  (...}

Please try again and check the file in /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/libpaper/. Also have a look at MisbehavingServers. Or force installation from source:

$ sudo port clean --dist libpaper
$ sudo port -s install libpaper

This should avoid the attempt to fetch binary archives.

Thank you for your help but I'm still having no luck. I did as you suggested and forced install from source. Still I'm getting checksum errors. Please see recently attached log file main2.log.

Actually that URL is a distfiles url (master_sites) not a packages url (archive_sites), and it is maintained by the debian project, not the macports project. Therefore no MacPorts binaries of any kind are at that URL. That's normal and not a problem.

I have verified that the file ​http://ftp.sk.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libp/libpaper/libpaper_1.1.24.tar.gz (which according to your log is what MacPorts downloaded for you) has checksums that match those in the Portfile so I too suspect a problem with your network. The file is 355272 bytes. How large is the file that was downloaded on your system? Is it a valid gzip-compressed tar file?

[arademacher@…]

Thank you, that was it! The network was messing with downloading the file from source. MacPorts was downloading but the file was corrupted. I downloaded the file from a different network and that fixed the problem. Thanks for all your help.
