p5.30-mozilla-ca, p5.28-mozilla-ca: empty distfile downloaded

This issue also affects p5.28-mozilla-ca.

The error is a red herring, though - the files do not appear to exist on the above mirrors. From the log file:

:error:checksum Failed to checksum p5.30-mozilla-ca: Unable to verify file checksums
:debug:checksum Error code: NONE
:debug:checksum Backtrace: Unable to verify file checksums
:debug:checksum     while executing
:debug:checksum "$procedure $targetname"

Is this a "maintainer" issue for the p5.xx-mozilla-ca port? Multiple ports appear to be affected as it seems to be a common dependency.

I do have a work around for 'git' and 'texlive' (by not using MacPorts for them).

NOTE: I have completely removed MacPorts and all installed ports, followed by a reboot and fresh reinstall using instructions from the MacPorts site. It did not help and the error continues.

I have attached the log file from the error above for reference.

Looks like a case of MisbehavingServers. Are you going through any kind of proxy?

This host seems to be gone, so we should remove it from the list anyway, of course:

% curl -IL http://mirror.bhoovd.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/Mozilla/Mozilla-CA-20200520.tar.gz
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: mirror.bhoovd.com

If your DNS is not giving this error, that could also be a contributing factor.

In 658e81632c8757ebd151a55c36033e2b581d3b53/macports-ports (master):

remove dead bhoovd.com mirror

See: #62676

[bd34n (Brian Dean)]

Proxy question: I don't think so. But I did get the DNS server warning from 'port' about it incorrectly claiming to know the address of non-existant hosts.

Before changing name servers to one in the list from the "Misbehaving Servers" link, curl did incorrectly report success.

However, I changed my name server setup to use an alternate name server and it now shows as your example above, i.e.,:

[bsd@yyz]:/tmp- curl -IL http://mirror.bhoovd.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/Mozilla/Mozilla-CA-20200520.tar.gz
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: mirror.bhoovd.com
[bsd@yyz]:/tmp- 

Even though that issue existed, it didn't appear to be the issue here - as 'sudo port -N install git' still fails with the same error (but p5.28-mozilla-ca for 'git').

[bd34n (Brian Dean)]

I forgot to add - after changing the name server, 'port' no longer warns about my DNS servers incorrectly claiming to know the address of non-existent hosts. But again, I do still experience the failure with p5.28-mozilla-ca (and for some ports p5.30-mozilla-ca).

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Please run sudo port selfupdate to get the updated mirror list, sudo port clean --dist p5.28-mozilla-ca to delete the incorrect distfile, and sudo port checksum p5.28-mozilla-ca to download and verify the file. If it fails, please attach the new log, which should be at least slightly different this time due to using a different mirror.

Excellent, thank you very much. That all worked and I'm back to building ports with this dependency without issue.
