 hdf5 1.6.9 has been released. The hdf5 port is still at version 1.6.8. The
 distfile for 1.6.8 is no longer available at one of the master_sites:

 http://www.sfr-fresh.com/unix/misc/hdf5-1.6.8.tar.gz

 That URL does not return a 404 "not found" error like it should but a
 normal "everything's ok" 200 status code, causing a checksum error, as
 [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
 users/2009-June/015451.html reported on the mailing list by Tyson Brown].

 You may want to remove that master site from the hdf5 port to prevent this
 problem in the future, or work with the owner of that mirror to make it
 function properly (return a 404 code when a file is not found).

 You may want to update the port to 1.6.9.
