atlas @3.9.33 fails to download

[onlynone@…]

While performing a port selfupdate I got this error:

--->  Computing dependencies for atlas
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for atlas
Error: Target org.macports.checksum returned: atlas3.9.33.tar.bz2 does not exist in /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/atlas

Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1

I took a look in /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/atlas/ and sure enough the most recent version of atlas was not there (though 3.8.3 was). So I ran:

$ sudo port -d fetch atlas

But I guess macports thinks I already downloaded atlas? I tried to force it with -f, but I guess that doesn't do anything. Then I saw the distcheck command, so I ran:

$ sudo port distcheck atlas

Warning: couldn't fetch http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/distfiles/atlas/lapack-3.3.0.tgz for atlas (HTTP response code said error)

Okay, so it couldn't download the files needed. But then why did macports proceed to checksum files that didn't download? And why did it think the fetch stage was completed? Anyway, I went to sf.net and got the files myself, for reference, the download link that worked for me was:

​http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/math-atlas/Developer%20%28unstable%29/3.9.33/atlas3.9.33.tar.bz2

I also had to get lapack from:

​http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lapack-3.3.0.tgz

Please remember to cc the maintainer. Fetching works fine for me. Looks like you deleted the distfile without also removing the statefile that says the fetch phase is complete (i.e. cleaning).

Besides, 3.9.35 is out. I had no time to upgrade the Portfile due to unexpected health problems. Will do that tomorrow.

Replying to jmr@…:

Um. I didn't do any deleting of anything. I had never even heard of atlas prior to running this selfupdate. And that doesn't change the fact that the URLs it was trying to download atlas from are incorrect.

Not all sourceforge mirrors have all files. It's really not a problem. I can't tell you what happened on your machine, but your log clearly shows that the fetch phase is marked as complete in the statefile and the distfile is missing.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Did you initially fetch (or try to install) without sudo (which would have downloaded the file into ~/.macports/...), then retry later with sudo (which would have expected the distfile in /opt/local/...)? Does the atlas distfile exist somewhere under ~/.macports? We thought we fixed this bug in MacPorts 1.9.2.

[Veence (Vincent)]

That's done in r76347. Please try again.

Atlas has been updated beyond 3.9.33 so this is no longer an issue.
