fontconfig failing on Checksums

[dan@…]

I've tried for the last week to upgrade fontconfig through macports, getting:

$ sudo port upgrade fontconfig +macosx+universal
Warning: Implicit variants should not be explicitly set or unset. macosx will be ignored.
--->  Computing dependencies for fontconfig
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for fontconfig
Error: Checksum (md5) mismatch for fontconfig-2.7.3.tar.gz
Error: Checksum (sha1) mismatch for fontconfig-2.7.3.tar.gz
Error: Checksum (rmd160) mismatch for fontconfig-2.7.3.tar.gz
Error: Target org.macports.checksum returned: Unable to verify file checksums
Error: Unable to upgrade port: 1

Checked over at the fontconfig list and found nothing as well. I know that I can't be the only one having this? I think some other installs/upgrades are failing from this as well, at least on my box.

I'm running 10.6.2 on a MacBookPro with 4GM -- 2.8 Intel Core 2 Duo.

Seems okay here, see the FAQ entry on checksum mismatches especially point 1.

I'll check it tonight behind my home firewall and see if that isolates it. I'm still getting the error after going through the list on the wiki.

Please do. If it fails, let us know from what server the file was downloaded, and tell us about the actual file you received (which will be in /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/fontconfig) -- is it a valid archive? can it be decompressed? or is it instead perhaps some HTML document? if so, what does it say?

Still having same problem from my home system with firewall turned off, etc. In the prescribed directory I found fontconfig-2.7.3.tar.gz (attached).

It seems to be improperly packed and errors from an untar:

$ tar -zxvf  fontconfig-2.7.3.tar.gz
tar: Unrecognized archive format: Inappropriate file type or format
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

Looks like websense is getting in your way, since that is just an HTML file with:

...
<title>Access to this site is blocked</title>

Let me try it again from home. Nice. that. I'm wiping the file now.

Running:

port -R upgrade --force --enforce-variants  fontconfig +macosx +universal

It errored so I manually deleted all the libraries. It finally re-installed fine. It would be nice to know the port command to just wipe out a particular library. All good now I hope!

Replying to dan@…:

It would be nice to know the port command to just wipe out a particular library.

If you mean "how do I delete all distfiles for the port foo" then the command is "sudo port clean --all foo". If you mean "how do I uninstall port foo" then the command is "sudo port uninstall foo".
