download

     Type:  defect   |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal   |  Milestone:
Component:  ports    |    Version:  2.6.3
 Keywords:           |       Port:  aquaterm ffmpeg subversion gnuplot
---------------------+------------------------------------------------
 I'm attempting to run
 {{{
 sudo port install gnuplot
 }}}
 on Catalina v.10.15.7 but it keeps getting hung up on installing AquaTerm,
 outputting:
 {{{

 nonexistent hosts. This may cause checksum mismatches for some ports. See

 }}}
 When I change DNS to a public server (tried several, e.g. 1.1.1.1) and
 cleaned before installing, the first Warning line disappears but otherwise
 I get the same output. I get a similar issue attempting to install other
 packages, namely subversion and FFmpeg - returning a 504 error from
 packages.macports.org. I attempted manual installation of AquaTerm using
 tar.gz files from mirrors saved in the specified paths as per:
 {{{
 port distfiles aquaterm
 }}}
 and following the directions under the '''Fetch Failures''' section of the
 '''Problem Hotlist''' but this had no effect. My Xcode version is 12.0.1,
 and I have command-line tools installed, version 12.0.0. I've installed
 other ports with no issue; these are the first installations I've
 attempting since getting command-line tools, if that's relevant. I've
 attached the log generated from the attempted gnuplot installation.
