I installed MacPorts 1.5.0 yesterday and proceeded to install KDE (after a selfupdate)

After first it couldn't install the cyrus-sasl package because trying to access http://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/ was failing.

This morning it can download the package yet fails with the following:

What am I supposed to do?

This has been reported before:

Apparently a bug has been introduced in a recent version of MacPorts, because this used to work:

http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2007-June/ 003932.html

There are not many portfiles that use this syntax:

http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2007-June/ 003935.html

Our options are to find and fix the bug in MacPorts, or work around it in the few affected portfiles, since the syntax is uncommon.

There's already a bug reported for this port:

http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/12279

I'll attach a patch for a workaround there.
