5.0.27 appears to be available, now. perhaps the mysql team moves the
archives for previous releases to a different directory?

this should deep clean the port:
    % sudo port clean --all <port_name>

however, if the archive the portfile is looking for isn't available,
cleaning won't help - the portfile will need to be updated...
