The transcript shows that running wget from its normal location in $PATH (wherever that happens to be) doesn't work, but that running /tmp/wget (why is wget there? did the user copy it there? did the user compile it there from source?) works. Given the limited information in the bug report, I can't explain that.

Yes this is not MacPort specific but just wanted to see if anyone else encounter this as well.

Thank you will contact wget developers for more help.
