openssl-1.0.0e.tar.gz checksum mismatch

[geoffgrimwood]

Have tried several times over the last couple of days.

sudo port -v selfupdate
sudo port -v clean --dist openssl 
sudo port -v install openssl 

Unable to verify file checksums

See attached log file

The file in question comes back with exactly the checksums in the Portfile for me. Try going through the FAQ for this problem.

Also, please remember to CC the maintainer.

As you can tell I'm no expert on this sort of thing.

Prior to creating the ticket I did follow the FAQ advice on resolving a checksum mismatch. The mismatch remained.

As I seem to be the only suffering this problem then let's just drop the matter and close the ticket.

The problem still occurs. However, I worked around it. I downloaded openssl-1.0.0.e from macports ​http://distfiles.macports.org/openssl/. This has the correct checksum. I then copied this to the proper place and re-issued the install command and everything worked. The macports was getting the troublesome distribution from ​http://www.openssl.org/source/ instead of a macports location (see the main.log attached above). I'm guessing this is why things turned to custard. port was looking for openssl-1.0.0e_0.darwin_11.x86_64.tbz2 at the macports site and couldn't find it.

MAC:opt geoff$ md5 ./local/var/macports/distfiles/openssl/openssl-1.0.0e.tar.gz
MD5 (./local/var/macports/distfiles/openssl/openssl-1.0.0e.tar.gz) = ad16b82501176398fde386cb86283acb
MAC:opt geoff$ sudo cp ~/Downloads/openssl-1.0.0e.tar.gz ./local/var/macports/distfiles/openssl/.
MAC:opt geoff$ md5 ./local/var/macports/distfiles/openssl/openssl-1.0.0e.tar.gz
MD5 (./local/var/macports/distfiles/openssl/openssl-1.0.0e.tar.gz) = 7040b89c4c58c7a1016c0dfa6e821c86

I'm happy for this ticket to be closed. If you think there is something that needs fixing then I leave it with you.

Regards

It is normal for there to be multiple possible locations from which a distfile could be downloaded; when working correctly, all servers should be serving identical files. And I checked the file on ​http://distfiles.macports.org/openssl and ​http://www.openssl.org/source just now and they are identical, both with the correct checksums matching the portfile.

port was looking for openssl-1.0.0e_0.darwin_11.x86_64.tbz2 at the macports site and couldn't find it.

That's a pre-built binary package, not a source distfile. The lack of a package is not a problem and not related the issue you experienced. MacPorts will attempt to download a package if available, but we don't have packages for Lion (darwin_11) yet so it won't find one, and will then proceed to try to build from source.

I'm happy for this ticket to be closed. If you think there is something that needs fixing then I leave it with you.

Without knowing what was in the incorrect file you got, we won't know if there's something that needs fixing.

The checksums in the Portfile match the checksums on the openssl homepage. Probably a download error.
