Issue with installing port

sudo port install pandoc

is what I was using. It takes forever and then fails. I did a little 
digging and noticed that there was a [+]stack: Use stack to build 
variant. So, I:

sudo port clean pandoc
sudo port install pandoc -stack

to see if that works. It's still building :).

Thanks for the tip on the fetch fails,

Will
