zlib checksum mismatch

[possi@…]

the package zlib-1.2.3.tar.bz2 download got a different md5.

Tryed several download from your rsync...

... downloading directly from zlib.net resolve the problem, the md5 in the profile is correct..

MacPorts does not download distfiles from rsync. Do you recall exactly what server or URL MacPorts was downloading from?

Run the following command and try again, there's nothing wrong with the file on distfiles.

sudo port clean --all zlib

MacPorts' server, zlib.net, and gzip.org all appear to be okay; probably one of the sourceforge mirrors returned an HTML page, even though the one I got worked fine. Unless we know the exact server which gave a bad result, not much else we can do...

Alessandro responded by email:

this is the last line with final md5 error...

The garr server does appear to be returning a corrupted distfile, which has the correct length and the correct contents, except that the 128K bytes from 0x1d000 to 0x3d000 are zeros.

I removed SourceForge from the mirror list in r52608. Thanks for reporting this problem, Alessandro.

We could just remove garr.dl from trunk/dports/_resources/port1.0/fetch/mirror_sites.tcl​ instead.
