"Fetching archive" fails for all ports on multiple systems, different networks

[Lee Finn]

Hi All - 

I’m stuck and looking for advice on how to get unstuck. 

H/W & S/W configuration: 
Two systems: iMac Pro & MacBook Pro (problem is common to both)
OS X 10.4.4
xCode 10.2
MacPorts 2.5.4

The problems I’m encountering are 
* A failure in archivefetch for many (all?) ports; 
* ports diagnose claiming xCode 10.2 unsupported (but no info on web site indicating this is the case…?)

On the laptop: New laptop, with set-up while on travel. Installed macports from the package installer. All went well. When I went to install ports, however, I find that no ports would download:

The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run

This problem has persisted without change for over a week, and with all ports I’ve tried to install. 

Likewise, on my desktop: On return from travel (see laptop) after performing system updates (including xCode) I went to updage my existing ports and found what appears to be the same port download problem:

Inspection of logs does not reveal anything useful (to me). 

On both systems, when I run diagnose, I get an indication that xcode 10.2 is not supported:

Quedo [42] Yeah? sudo port diagnose
Password:
Error: currently installed version of Xcode, 10.2, is not supported by MacPorts.  For your currently installed system, only the following versions of Xcode are supported:  10.1 10.0
Warning: found dylibs in your /usr/local/lib directory. These are known to cause problems. We'd recommend  you remove them.
Warning: found header files in your /usr/local/include directory. These are known to cause problems. We'd recommend  you remove them.

However, when I try to find some indication on the macports web site, or via google, I’m unable to find anything regarding xcode 10.2/macports problems. 

I’d very much appreciate any advice that will help me get macports running again on the desktop, or up and running on the laptop. 

Thanks, 

Sam
