curl-ca-bundle: Cannot stat: /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/curl/certdata-1.65.txt, No such file or directory

[rdclark@…]

Upgrading from curl-ca-bundle@7.21.1, I encountered the cannot stat certdata problem. Tried the remedy from previous ticket 25739 (clean --all and reinstall) to no avail.

Here's the log, which shows the checksum for the file passes, but then the file isn't found.

Any thoughts on working around this?

Remember to fill in the Port field and to use WikiFormatting.

Please clean and try again and if it fails again attach the log immediately after doing so; the log you pasted here says "Skipping completed org.macports.fetch" and "Skipping completed org.macports.checksum" indicating it was not taken from a clean run.

The log says "xinstall: Cannot stat: /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/curl/certdata-1.65.txt, No such file or directory". Does that file exist? If not, watch what the port does during the fetch phase. Does it fetch that file?

Log from run with clean --all

I'm sorry to say it's still failing:

I've attached the log from that run. It shows the fetch happening, the checksum passing for the certdata file, etc. before the extraction.

After extraction, there's no certdata-1.65.txt, but there are the ones installed in the past:

Hyperbola:~ rdclark$ find /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/curl -name certdata\*
/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/curl/certdata-1.57.txt
/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/curl/certdata-1.58.txt
/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/curl/certdata-1.62.txt
/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/curl/certdata-1.63.txt
/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/curl/certdata-1.64.txt

Puzzling!

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I see it fetched curl-7.21.1.tar.bz2 but not certdata-1.65.txt. The only reason it wouldn't have fetched certdata-1.65.txt should be if it already has the file. And it is able to verify its checksum, which means it must have the file, and it must be the correct file. How can it then be that in the extract step, it doesn't have the file? I do not understand.

One distant possibility: could it be that you ran some commands without "sudo"? Try cleaning both with and without sudo to reset things to the way they should be, then try installing again:

port clean --all curl-ca-bundle
sudo port clean --all curl-ca-bundle
sudo port install curl-ca-bundle

If that works, then I think this is a problem that has already been fixed in MacPorts base.

If that doesn't work, can you manually download certdata-1.65.txt from ​here and place it in /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/curl? Does that work?

[rdclark@…]

Trying port clean and sudo port clean also didn't work (puzzling!), and I verified that the certdata-1.65.txt file wasn't present anywhere in Macports (via find /opt/local/var/macports -name certdata\*). But I noticed the distfiles/curl directory had a significant number of older certdata files and packages; when I cleaned these out, the installer downloaded both the latest curl-ca-bundle and the certdata-1.65.txt file.

What worked

sudo port clean -f --all curl-ca-bundle
sudo port install curl-ca-bundle

It's a tad risky, if one of my other ports depends on an older certdata file, but I have good backups and can restore an older file if needed.

Thanks for all your help.
