qt4-mac Failed to verify signature for archive!

Reported by: jorgeantoniorivera@… Owned by: michaelld (Michael Dickens)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.3.4
Keywords: Cc: eborisch (Eric A. Borisch)
Port: qt4-mac

Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))

I trying to install it, I get a suspicious error.

The rmd160 signature in the Portfile is different than the downloaded file.

Is a security problem?

What is the correct signature for this file?

Best regards.

Port install log:

Looks like something in your downloaded file is corrupted. Try port clean --all qt4-mac and install (download) again. When I download that file, I get:

 RIPEMD160(qt4-mac-4.8.7_4.darwin_12.x86_64.tbz2)= 8df11b5f66c4e950ab709230a616133f1187230e

And it verifies OK with the associated .rmd160 signature.

Hello all.

I am sorry for my forms, this is my first report, after many year as casual user.

I was positively sure, that file was not corrupted. I downloaded it several times. And I could uncompress it correctly.

I want to discard a security problem in this port, because others critical port depend of it, KeePassX for the sample.

But, today I am trying again, and result is the same that you say:

RIPEMD160(/tmp/qt4-mac-4.8.7_4.darwin_12.x86_64.tbz2)= 8df11b5f66c4e950ab709230a616133f1187230e

Anyway, the rmd160 digest in Portfile is different.

checksums           rmd160 afb5e5a99388e6429faca59cb5000054feffd166

Does this have any explanation?

Thank you so much. Best regards.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

In short: you have the correct binary package checksum (!= source distribution checksum stored in the Portfile) now. It looks like something was garbled in the initial compiled download (or the signed checksum download) from packages.macports.org, but it is in good shape now.
