Comment(by curt@…):

 @cyberhomie:

 Are you getting the error while building popt as a dependency for git-core
 or while trying to install some other package?  Also, are you on 10.5 or
 10.6?

 The workaround worked for me because once port(1) sees the souce tarball
 in the correct location with the correct checksum, it doesn't ask any more
 where it came from, it just assumes it was already downloaded.  On 10.5
 the "correct location" is /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/popt.  I think
 it's different on 10.6 but I don't have a machine handy to check.
 However, since rpm5 is down (and not just returning 404 or something), if
 you have a "helpful" DNS provider that redirects all invalid URLs to some
 ad-filled page, port(1) will save that output as popt.tar.gz and then
 complain about checksums not matching.  So you could do this to find out
 where to save popt.tar.gz.


 {{{
 sudo port install popt # generates error
 find /opt/local -name popt.tar.gz | xargs dirname

 }}}
