That's not the problem here, though. The problem is that CMU's web

I've worked around this for the cyrus-imapd port in r29784 by adding
the FTP server as a backup master site. Wait 30 minutes, selfupdate
or sync, and then try again. Or you can manually download the
distfile and place it in /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/cyrus-
imapd and you should be good to go.
ftp server is fine now: I just mounted it locally and the distfile
is there.
The FTP server has always been fine. This was working great, and is
still working great:
ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/
However, the HTTP access to the FTP server is broken. This is not
working (it is showing an empty directory listing):
http://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/
This was the only download address in the cyrus-imapd and mpack
portfiles, hence they were not able to fetch the software. Adding the
http URL as a backup download address worked around the problem. CMU
should still be contacted regarding their non-functioning HTTP access
to their FTP server.
Sorry about the mixup on distfile checksums: I know it's a Bad Idea to
ignore them, but I thought there was an override on that.
