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

[Chris Jones]

Hi,

On a first guess, I would say you have an issue with your network. what 
does running

 > curl -O -R 
https://packages.macports.org/libiconv/libiconv-1.15_0.darwin_18.x86_64.tbz2

give ?

It would also help post the complete logs referred to below.

I doubt Xcode 10.2 has anything to do with this.
