Please read the FAQ on checksums errors. You did not specify the download mirror.

Please read the FAQ on checksums errors. You did not specify the download mirror.

I did read the FAQ and it didn't help.

I did not specify a mirror - I let it find its own. If you can tell me how to find the mirror it is using, I will happily report it - I looked through the docs and found nothing that was helpful

sudo port clean --all zlib && sudo port -v checksum zlib

[derek.morris@…]

This now seems to be correct.:

sudo port clean --all zlib && sudo port -v checksum zlib
