#49715: qt5 port: can fetch and checksum but extract fails

 Priority:  Normal           |  Milestone:
Component:  ports            |    Version:  2.3.4
 Keywords:  extract failure  |       Port:  qt5
-----------------------------+--------------------------------
 I am getting an unusual error. I can fetch and even checksum qt5 but when
 I try to extract qt5, I get an error:

 {{{
 Error: org.macports.extract for port qt5 returned: command execution
 failed
 }}}

 When I try a port install qt5, I get the same error. Looking a the log
 file, I see the following lines:

 {{{
 :debug:extract Executing command line:  cd
 "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_svn.macports.org_trunk_dports_aqua_qt5/qt5/work"
 && /usr/bin/gzip -dc
 '/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/qt5/qt5-5.5.1.tar.gz' | /usr/bin/gnutar
 --no-same-owner -xf -
 :info:extract gzip: can't stat:
 /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/qt5/qt5-5.5.1.tar.gz
 (/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/qt5/qt5-5.5.1.tar.gz.gz): No such file
 or directory
 :info:extract /usr/bin/gnutar: This does not look like a tar archive
 :info:extract /usr/bin/gnutar: Exiting with failure status due to previous
 errors
 }}}

 The file /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/qt5/qt5-5.5.1.tar.gz does not
 exist although there are a log of other .tar.xz files in that directory.
 Why is this failing for me? I thought perhaps my prior install of qt5-mac
 was interfering so I uninstalled qt5-mac first and then tried cleaning and
 installing qt5 but same error.

 For some reason, both fetch and checksum failing silently without throwing
 error messages. It is only when extract goes to gnutar a non-existant file
 that an error is generated. Logfile attached.
