log file of failed fetch of expat

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Must be a problem with your network. I just verified that the files exist on all of the above URLs (except svn.macports.org, which is expected).

[constantin.klier@…]

But I can fetch and build some other ports, e.g.

sudo port install python_select

Same problem as expat with pkg-config. python_select fetches an archive with *.noarch.* , but expat and pkg-config fetch archives with *.x86_64.*. The archives seem do to have been fetched. The first try

Error: org.macports.fetch for port expat returned: fetch failed

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

MacPorts first tries to fetch a package. If that fails, it tries to fetch a distfile. If that too fails, the port cannot be installed.

If you visit the above URLs in a web browser, what happens?

[constantin.klier@…]

My web browser shows

expat-2.1.0.tar.gz

at most the given URLs. ping from the terminal to the servers also works.
