Which server did the bad distfile come from? See:

http://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#checksums


The file is certainly available from our central distfiles mirror:

http://distfiles.macports.org/slocate/


Several of the mirrors that were listed in the port did not have the file, and 
two of the servers did not exist anymore; if you have a DNS server on your 
network that does not correctly report the nonexistence of servers, then you 
would have received a checksum error as a result. MacPorts 1.9.2 and up will 
detect this problem and refer you to the following page which has more 
information and suggestions:

https://trac.macports.org/wiki/MisbehavingServers


I removed these bad mirrors now:

http://trac.macports.org/changeset/70305

So you could "sudo port selfupdate", "sudo port clean --all slocate", and try 
again. If it still fails, show us what mirror the download came from.
