rdiff-backup: checksum mismatch because HTML file

[rpn@…]

Hi

I'm trying to port rdiff-backup. one of the dependencies is python26 and it's failing with the following error. the log is also not very helpful.

sudo port install rdiff-backup

(I have successfully installed a number of other packages, this is the only dependency that seems to fail).

The log looks useful to me. Do you have xz installed (port installed xz) ? But it seems that the port could install it for you, before failing.

Thanks for the quick turnaround. My apologies - I had read that 'xz' as some sort of error, not a missing port name. I'd've thought that if that was a dependency, macports should have installed it first anyway?

I installed port 'xz' and it was then able to install port 'python26'

However, the port I actually wanted to install was rdiff-backup; the above were just dependencies that seemed to be timing out so I thought it made sense to install them separately.

I now get a more serious error on the actual install of rdiff-backup:

It is declared as a dependency, and MacPorts should have installed it. Can't explain why it did not.

I now get a more serious error on the actual install of rdiff-backup:

Ok, that's a totally different problem and should've been a new ticket.

:notice:fetch --->  Attempting to fetch rdiff-backup-1.2.8.tar.gz from http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/savannah/rdiff-backup

Indeed that server is offline, and you have a "helpful" DNS server that turns that usually harmless problem into an inconvenient situation. Let me investigate...

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I removed the uidaho.edu and piotrkosoft.net mirrors from the savannah fetch group in r98636.

Wait 30 minutes, then run:

sudo port clean --all rdiff-backup
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install rdiff-backup

Great thanks all working now
