 both files will exist; if either one or the other doesn't exist, it should
 try the next packages mirror or build from source. It should try fetching
 the rmd160 file first, since it's smaller.

 a quick check on some mirrors shows that the needed rmd160 file seems gone
 from all of them so I'm afraid hunting for that file across mirrors wont
 help, no?

 reading https://trac.macports.org/ticket/56181 and the code for
 https://trac.macports.org/browser/macports-
 infrastructure/jobs/delete_old_archives.py :

 Could it be that only the rmd160 file was deleted but the binary archive
 somehow not?
