There has already been a ticket put in for this (3 weeks ago!)
http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/12452
I am also having this problem, and before everybody starts saying
"just change the checksum in the Portfile":
1) Changing the checksum in the Portfile is at best a silly thing
to do, as it defeats the
whole purpose of having a checksum. At worst, you could
really mess things on up
on your system by attempting to corrupted file, or install
something else entirely
since you are disregarding the guarantee that the file you
received is the file you
expected.
2) It doesn't work for this anyway. In this case the file in
question is in fact corrupt, and
changing the checksum will just get you an error message
telling you as much.
This is probably a very simple matter for somebody with the right
permissions to fix, but until that happens there's really not much you
can do other than go download, build, and install the software
yourself.
