This message indicates that port thinks it has already downloaded  
Finance-Quote-1.13.tar.gz, but that the file is not actually there.   
This might be caused by a failed checksum, but also by other things.   
Would you port clean --all p5-finance-quote and try again?

Has anybody else noticed a wrong checksum for p5-finance-quote?

It works on my system with a fresh download.

I don't know much about ncurses and ncursesw, but I had to install  
them yesterday (for the upgraded texinfo port), and they built all  
right without any checksum complaints.
