It is presumably trying to download the file at the above-indicated  
URL. Are you able to download that file in a web browser or is there  
perhaps some network connectivity issue?

Ports shouldn't be downloading files outside of the fetch phase, but  
I'm not sure how to prevent policykit from doing so in this case --  
but I haven't looked into it either. If anybody has suggestions, let  
us know.
