Fail to install libidn

[peterpang1994]

I have been trying to install libidn and the following error message keep pops up

Error: org.macports.checksum for port libidn returned: libidn-1.33.tar.gz does not exist in /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/libidn

Following lines can be seen in the log

:info:checksum --->  Checksumming libidn-1.33.tar.gz
:error:checksum org.macports.checksum for port libidn returned: libidn-1.33.tar.gz does not exist in /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/libidn

Hmmm ... macports thinks you have downloaded the file, but then macports can't find/access/read it when you try to checksum it...

you did use sudo port -v install libidn , correct?

is there anything in /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/libidn ? if so, what ownership is on it?

ls -la /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/libidn/*

here's what I get

ls -la /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/libidn/*
-rw-r--r--  1 macports  admin  3501056 25 Nov 22:52 /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/libidn/libidn-1.33.tar.gz

if you have nothing in there, something is confused -- one option would be to go in there, download it manually, and then try reinstalling.

cd /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/libidn/
sudo wget https://distfiles.macports.org/libidn/libidn-1.33.tar.gz
sudo port -v install libidn

hope this help you --K

This was not a clean build attempt.

Please try a clean build and attach the new log if it still fails:

$ sudo port clean libidn
$ sudo port install libidn
