zlib @1.2.13 archive signature verification failure

[rowlandcarson]

After installing MacPorts I tried to install GPXSee and got the following error message:

--->  Fetching archive for zlib
--->  Attempting to fetch zlib-1.2.13_0.darwin_21.arm64.tbz2 from https://packages.macports.org/zlib

Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets if you believe there is a bug.

I am attaching the file referred to above.

Just to check, this isn't a non-root installation? What do the permissions look like on /opt/local/share/macports/macports-pubkey.pem?

I can cd to /opt/local but no lower. I get the following:

Rowland@Mac-mini local % pwd
/opt/local
Rowland@Mac-mini local % ls -ld share
drwx------  9 506  wheel  288 20 Jan 12:53 share

I am a little nervous about using chmod - can you offer advice about what permission to set as I go down the hierarchy, please?

Normaly the permissions of that directory should be 755. Here's what I see on my system:

% cd /opt/local && ls -ld *
drwxr-xr-x     3 root  wheel     96 Dec  1  2021 Library

drwxr-xr-x     3 root  wheel     96 Jan 17 22:58 www

Is it only /opt/local/share that has 700 permissions on your system or also other directories?

Then I'd start by making your top-level directory permissions look like mine.

sudo chmod 755 /opt/local/{bin,etc,lib,share}

Then you can check if any subdirectories have similar problems.
