docbook-xml-4.2 checksum error

[joe@…]

Hi,

I'm seeing a checksum error when attempting to install docbook-xml-4.2:

The non-matching file appears to be HTML. See this page for possible reasons

Checking the log, I see:

Checking the host that supplied the mis-checksummed file, it appears to be:

% dig +short packages.macports.org
alpha2.macosforge.org.
17.254.20.158

Thanks for all your work on MacPorts, it's really terrific.

The error message is telling you that the file /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/docbook-xml-4.2/docbook-xml-4.2.zip is unexpectedly an HTML file. What is in it?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

docbook-xml-4.2.zip did not come from packages.macports.org; it had already been fetched. It attempted to fetch docbook-xml-4.2-4.2_0.darwin_9.noarch.tbz2 from packages.macports.org but it was not there, so it then fell back to building from source.

I can't reproduce this, so if you reopen, please generate a complete log by running

sudo port clean --dist docbook-xml-4.2
sudo port checksum docbook-xml-4.2
