Have you read the relevant FAQ entry? The most important bit of info is which mirror the file was downloaded from.

[nefar@…]

No I hadn't, but the FAQ says to open a bug in trac, which is what I did. So where does that leave me now?

Have you tried compiling it yourself? It wouldn't take much to verify the issue.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The issue is not compilation, but checksum verification. You did not receive the same file I did when creating the port. There are many reasons why that might have occurred, as the FAQ says.

I have now fetched the file from each of the mirrors that offer it, and they are all identical and match the checksums in the portfile. Thus, the most likely explanation is the reason listed first in the FAQ entry: you got a corrupted download, and should delete it and try again:

sudo port clean --all php5
sudo port install php5

[nefar@…]

I did that more than once after the initial update to this ticket. I'm still experiencing issues. Regardless, the FAQ entry still said to file a bug, so I hope that at least is not under dispute.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The FAQ entry should say to file a bug if there is something that needs to be changed in the portfile, but so far I don't think there is. Perhaps the wording in the FAQ entry needs to be clarified.

What file do you have at /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/php5/php-5.3.0.tar.bz2? Is it a bzip2 file (as determined by the "file" command)? How big is it in bytes? Does it decompress (using "bunzip2")? Or is it perhaps an HTML page? If so, what does it say?

[nefar@…]

$ file  /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/php5/php-5.3.0.tar.bz2
/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/php5/php-5.3.0.tar.bz2: bzip2 compressed data, block size = 900k

$ md5   /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/php5/php-5.3.0.tar.bz2
MD5 (/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/php5/php-5.3.0.tar.bz2) = 846760cd655c98dfd86d6d97c3d964b0

$ ls -l   /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/php5/php-5.3.0.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r--  1 root  admin   9.6M Oct 20 13:03 /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/php5/php-5.3.0.tar.bz2

I guess you can mark it as invalid again. Btw, I did nothing to effect the checksum. (I had originally deleted the download dir in distfiles because Id idn;t know about clean --all) but that's the only difference.

I tried building it again, and now it worked. I guess this can be marked as invalid again.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Ok. Maybe there was a temporary network issue causing the file to be downloaded improperly before.
