tor @0.2.6.9_0: cannot verify SSL certificate from https://www.torproject.org

[skoro.ru@…]

OSX 10.5.8 PPC

File tor-0.2.6.9_0.darwin_9.ppc.tbz2 cannot be fetched from any of the locations searched, thus the build fails. This also applies to tor @0.2.6.8.

A quick look around for example, ​http://nue.de.packages.macports.org/macports/packages/tor/ shows only x86_64 architecture files.

The versions below installed correctly on the above platform:

tor @0.2.4.23_1
tor @0.2.5.10_0
tor @0.2.5.10_1
tor @0.2.5.10_2
tor @0.2.5.11_0 (active)

If MacPorts cannot fetch a binary archive, it tries to build from source instead. Your log shows that your (very old) system is having trouble fetching the source because of certificate verification:

:notice:fetch --->  Attempting to fetch tor-0.2.6.9.tar.gz from https://www.torproject.org/dist/
:debug:fetch Fetching distfile failed: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed

I doubt this is a problem with the tor port itself. Please ask on macports-users for help debugging your certificate verification issue.

Replying to larryv@…:

Got it, thanks.

I've looked into the certificate issue; I expect to see similar fetch failures from https repositories in the future.

As far as I can see, the torproject repository holds the tor-0.2.6.9.tar.gz source archives. However, the other 13 http mirrors the fetch was attempted from aren't hosting up to date source files yet, which is why the fetch failed from those.
