Thanks for letting us know.

Looking in the CI logs, I don't see any attempts to download packages, it just goes directly to building from source.

I think this may have to do with the changes Josh was making to mpbb starting yesterday. I didn't fully read or try to understand all of the changes.

Maybe this commit fixed it; check more recent PRs:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/b3b512432f9f7d9212c85700e06a006caa6ebef0

(The PR would have to have been created from a branch after this commit to benefit from the fix.)
