p5.30-mozilla-ca: Checksum mismatch

[jason-johnson (Jason)]

When trying to install Git on Mac OSX Catalina 10.15.5 I get the following error:

--->  Fetching archive for p5.30-mozilla-ca

When checking the logs I see:

I went to the sites shown there and indeed the file listed is not present.

I get the same problem with p5.28-mozilla-ca also.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

The error is a checksum error. It verifies for me so it appears to be an issue with the nue.de.packages.macports.org mirror.

[jason-johnson (Jason)]

I think the reason the checksum is failing is because the files are not there so it's checksumming an empty file or something. I went to the URLs in the log and there were files there but none with 20200520 in the name.

[jason-johnson (Jason)]

Changing the title because this does not look like a checksum error to me. Checksum is just a symptom of the files being missing.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The fact that the packages are not there has nothing to do with the fact that you're not able to verify the checksums of the distfile.

The packages are not there because we are not allowed to distribute them:

"p5.30-mozilla-ca" is not distributable because its license "mpl" conflicts with license "GPL-3+" of dependency "gdbm"

As for the distfile, all we know is the checksum didn't match on your system. I tried it on my system and I am unable to reproduce the problem. You didn't attach a main.log file and your transcript doesn't show what server the distfile was downloaded from. (It shows what servers it attempted to download the nonexistent packages from, which is irrelevant.)

Please follow the instructions at wiki:FAQ#checksums. Let us know what you find out.

[jason-johnson (Jason)]

It very clearly shows in the error messages I've shown above from the console:

Fetching archive for p5.30-mozilla-ca
--->  Attempting to fetch p5.30-mozilla-ca-20200520_0.darwin_19.noarch.tbz2 from https://packages.macports.org/p5.30-mozilla-ca

etc.

Afterwards (from the log):

:msg:archivefetch --->  Attempting to fetch p5.30-mozilla-ca-20200520_0.darwin_19.noarch.tbz2 from https://packages.macports.org/p5.30-mozilla-ca
:debug:archivefetch Fetching archive failed: The requested URL returned error: 404 

etc. And now back to the error from the output:

Error: Checksum (rmd160) mismatch for Mozilla-CA-20200520.tar.gz

etc. The checksum doesn't match what's in the distfile because the distfile expects there to be a file with data in it, not an empty or non-existent file.

If you go to e.g. ​http://packages.macports.org/p5.30-mozilla-ca/ you will see it does have packages, just none with 20200520 in the name. Here is the list I see:

So it would appear you do in fact distribute p5.30-mozilla-ca, just not the version that was set in the latest change to this port. On Github the previous version was 20180117 which is correct.

I am attaching the main.log which these excerpts were taking from. This does not look like a checksum issue but rather checksum is the first place that detected the problem, which is that someone made a ​commit which broke the package.

[jason-johnson (Jason)]

Ok, I see in the log file it does actually find the file at a place called ​http://mirror.truenetwork.ru. I see that this file has been downloaded.

Never mind. I did the clean of that port and reinstalled and now it's working. Probably firewall interference. Sorry for the trouble, please close the ticket.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Glad you got it working. I've filed #60756 for the fact that MacPorts output is confusing and doesn't make the distinction between fetching binary archives and building from source more clear.
