Georgia Tech mirror error

macports fails to update gstreamer and I get this error:

Did you read MisbehavingServers? What is in the HTML file that got downloaded? (/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/gstreamer/gstreamer-0.10.36.tar.bz2)

[shane.wilkins@…]

the stuff inside the html

[shane.wilkins@…]

The takeaway line is: "We did not find results for: www.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu."

[shane.wilkins@…]

No progress on this issue?

[shane.wilkins@…]

Still no progress here?

Did you read and apply the FAQ on checksum errors?

Replying to macsforever2000@…:

Did you read and apply the FAQ on checksum errors?

Yes, several times. However cleaning and attempting to reinstall yields the same problem, i.e. that the server just gives me a html file instead of the source. I am fairly sure that the error is on the side of the Georgia Tech mirror, not my machine.

[rmstonecipher@…]

The error may be in the Georgia Tech mirror, but is most definitely not in gstreamer. I can checksum this tarball using the other servers MacPorts automagically picks for me.

[shane.wilkins@…]

how can i get the tarball from a different server?

This bad mirror was fixed 5 weeks ago in r90254 so if you're still getting it after a port clean --all gstreamer you need to port selfupdate to get the changed list of mirrors. If port selfupdate isn't working for you you need to go to the macports-users mailing list

[shane.wilkins@…]

Boom. Fixed my issue. I think the secret sauce was that i was only doing

port clean gstreamer

rather than

port clean --all gstreamer

Thanks for the help!
