Comment:

 After upgrading from v2.0.4 to v2.1.2, I get something similar to what you
 see in the attached screen output for each port I try to install; the
 failure shown is from an attempt to install the gtk-doc port (it dies
 trying to install the first dependent port, xmlcatmgr-2.2).

 It looks like up through MacPorts 2.0.4 the checksums are 32-bit, and
 become 64-bit beginning with v2.1.0 and continuing with v2.1.2? At least
 as you can see the checksums shown in the portfiles are twice as long as
 the ones in the distfiles.

 I did a sync just before the install attempt.

 I will mention I'm running plain Darwin x86 8.01, and thus lacking Xcode I
 can't do selfupdate, and so I've bootstrapped MacPorts releases from:

 1.6.0 -> 1.8.2 -> 1.9.2 -> 2.0.3 -> 2.0.4 -> 2.1.0

 This having been the second time I've installed Darwin on this box and
 bootstrapped my way to this problem, I made a point to create a backup of
 the registry so that I will be able to drop back to 2.0.4 again.

 I'd performed the upgrade from 2.04 to 2.1.2 after receiving this error
 when trying to install the gtk-doc port using 2.0.4:

 ---> Computing dependencies for gtk-doc.Error: Unable to execute port:
 invalid command name "compiler.blacklist"

 So installing 2.1.0 previously, and 2.1.2 this time around, got rid of the
 aforementioned error, but results in this checksum semi-mismatch.

 Lastly, I'm aware there's not much collective will to assist the dozen or
 so of us plain (I will not use the term "pure") Darwin users; I do in fact
 have an iMac with Tiger on it, but it was a gift, I don't have the install
 disks, and don't wish to clutter it with development software. And I can't
 use it for the target application (not a program, just a use); the iMac
 lacks USB 2.0 ports, and what I'm doing really needs them, and this
 Celery-based PC has them.

 Even as it is, I find MacPorts a great time-saver, and I'm happy you folks
 have spent so much time on it.

 Thanks in advance for any and all help.... -dh
