 While installing wine-devel, MacPorts chocked trying to compute the
 checksum form gperf-3.0.4.tar.gz
 This is because it was looking on ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/gnu/prep/gperf

 An examination of the folder revealed that the .tar.gz files were 65B in
 size - more typical of .sig files, and the .sig files were huge -
 containing unrelated package content.

 I have no idea how to report this issue correctly.
 As it turns out, after doing a clean, and a specific install of gperf it
 used a different mirror, so my problem is resolved but I did google and
 find a number of mail trails of other people hitting this gperf issue
 while installing other packages so I thought that reporting it via some
 means would be appreciated.
