The files are not supposed to be there (in the MacPorts repository).  
They are supposed to be on the Oracle web site. MacPorts just always  
tries the MacPorts repository as a backup in case it can't find the  
files on the primary sites. The problem is that the portfile still  
references the old SleepyCat download location. BerkeleyDB has since  
been acquired by Oracle. Erick fixed the fetch failure in r34991.
