#16363 closed defect (fixed)

Checksum failure on libcaca install.

Description

While installing gnome on a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.5.4, X11 2.3.0, XCode 3.1), the script fails when trying to veryify the checksum on libcaca.

I ran sudo port install libcaca to isolate the error and it fails at the same point.

See the following error message:


Johns-Laptop:~ john$ sudo port install -f libcaca ---> Fetching libcaca ---> Attempting to fetch libcaca-0.9.tar.bz2 from http://libcaca.zoy.org/files/libcaca/ ---> Verifying checksum(s) for libcaca Error: Checksum (md5) mismatch for libcaca-0.9.tar.bz2 Error: Target org.macports.checksum returned: Unable to verify file checksums Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. Johns-Laptop:~ john$

Have you tried re-downloading the distfile as described in the FAQ?

I found and downloaded the libcaca distfile from another mirror. The checksum on this file matched the checksum in the portfile and installed properly.

I went back to the file downloaded from the location specified in the portfile and the checksum did not match. Either the checksum in the portfile needs to be updated, or the specified distfile needs to be corrected.

The problem is that the download URL in the portfile now redirects to a HTML page. I'll change it to the new location.
