"No checksum set" error in interactive mode only

[bva@…]

['ve tried to clean this build (it's a requirement for several ports I've tried to install) and rebuild, and I always get a variation on this error

Here's an example output

$ sudo port

I have run selfupdate, and I'm running on Mac OS 10.5.5 with Macports version 1.600

This affects the gimp +macos port and gnome port

Seems to work OK here. What about if you don't use interactive mode? E.g. sudo port -d clean --all py25-hashlib && sudo port -d checksum py25-hashlib

That can't make a difference! Sheesh:

$ sudo port -d clean --all py25-haslib && sudo port -d checksum py25-hashlib

Oh rats, I made a typo, so that didn't work. Hey wait a minute! The checksum passed!

$ sudo port install py25-hashlib

So even without cleaning, the file checksummed and installed ok from batch mode. I'm a little surprised!

Thanks for the suggestion

OK, good to know there was a workaround. But of course it really should have worked in interactive mode.

I cannot reproduce this.
