gsed checksum mismatch, distfile is HTML

[philirwin@…]

I was trying to load py26-scipy and it depends on gsed. gsed failed with the "webpage" error. I thought it could be just temporary, but it's been like this for weeks now. Other packages install just fine on my system. See screen output below.

-PHIL

bash-3.2$ sudo port install gsed

The non-matching file appears to be HTML. See this page for possible reasons
for the checksum mismatch:

Please remember to preview and use WikiFormatting, and fill in the Port field. You do not need to be in cc when you are the reporter. As per the FAQ, you need to indicate which mirror your file was downloaded from.

Have you read the MisbehavingServers page? What does the HTML in the downloaded file say?

philirwin, have you made any progress on this issue?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I tested all HTTP downloads of gsed and they all correctly return 200 OK (except the last-resort svn location, which correctly returns 404 Not Found). So there should be no problem.

One of the download locations is on ​http://mirror.facebook.net/. Is it possible that your network is naively blocking all URLs containing the word "facebook"? Are you able to access ​http://mirror.facebook.net/? Again, what does the HTML in the downloaded file (/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/gsed/sed-4.2.1.tar.gz) say?
