It looks like the distfile (mysql-connector-java-5.0.4.tar.gz) is
corrupted because gzip can't open it (and the checksum doesn't match).

I don't work with java so I don't want to change the port, but you could
try the following to use the newest version of the port (as suggested
some minutes ago by ryandesign at macports.org on the ticket page [1]):

port edit mysql-connector-java

Or if this doesn't work

port dir mysql-connector-java

Open the Portfile in this directory with your favorite editor.

And then change the version to 5.0.7 and the md5 checksum to:

d177ce7397b119f013458cec0418ad2d

Then run "port install" as usual. Please report back if the updated
version works, so we can update it in macports.

Hope this helps,
Simon
