SMLNJ checksum mismatch

[wbl (Watson Ladd)]

Again upgrading smlnj fails with the following message: {{{Error: Checksum (sha1) mismatch for boot.ppc-unix.tgz Error: Target org.macports.checksum returned: Unable to verify file checksums}}}

Running sudo port -d smlnj we get

...
--->  Checksumming boot.ppc-unix.tgz
Error: Checksum (sha1) mismatch for boot.ppc-unix.tgz
Portfile checksum: boot.ppc-unix.tgz sha1 e264fd6f168aaf0124adb1b3727cbf7c5c6c2705
Distfile checksum: boot.ppc-unix.tgz sha1 8c4d7b2512f70420617835899f4b8e8e30e6e819
...

where ... indicates lines omitted for clarity.

It should work after:

sudo port clean --all smlnj

The boot.ppc-unix.tgz on the server has recently been changed.
The checksums were changed in r43741 to accommodate new downloads.
For upgrades, however, MacPorts doesn't think it needs to download a new version (which it does)
because there was no name change.

Please let me know it this works.

In cases like this, you should change the dist_subdir to ${name}/${version}_${revision}, both because otherwise port won't try to re-fetch if the old file is present, and because the file on distfiles.macports.org will still be the old one.

Replying to jmr@…:

Thank you for the information.

Fixed in r43777.
