libgpod 0.8.3 Error: Unable to verify file checksums

[james_robertson2000@…]

Following on from the resolution of #46859, I'm now getting the following error:

Error: org.macports.checksum for port libgpod returned: Unable to verify file checksums

As before, OS X 10.10.2, Xcode 6.1.1

Log file attached.

TIA

Could you please attach the file /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/libgpod/libgpod-0.8.3.tar.bz2.html?

Aha. So, a few days ago, SourceForge was down. Anything page requested from SourceForge, including any downloads, returned the page you attached, which says that they are down. During that outage must have been when I committed the update to libgpod, so instead of mirroring the right file, the MacPorts mirror servers mirrored this unhelpful HTML page. The main MacPorts distfiles server is supposed to notice when the file it got doesn't match the checksums in the Portfile, and delete the bad file and try again later, and the other mirror servers are supposed to periodically synchronize with the master. It looks like this has occurred by now, so you should be able to fix the problem by cleaning the port ("sudo port clean libgpod") and trying again.

Thanks for that - much appreciated.

I ran

sudo port clean libgpod
sudo port install libgpod

and libgpod built and installed fine.

Just in case anybody finds this in searches, sudo port install digikam succeeded, and digikam is running fine :)

Great! Glad my predictions were correct.
