Description (last modified by jmpp@…)
I encountered a checksum error trying to install the libxml2 port. The problem is that the downloaded file is a web page, not the binary archive. The fetch phase does not seem to properly download the archive. The actual error I received was a checksum error (output included below), but closer inspection reveal the downloaded file as HTML.

Summary: | BUG: libxml2-2.6.23 fetch error → BUG: libxml2-2.6.23 fetch error from planetmirror.com |
The fast workaround would be to remove the planetmirror.com entry or entries from /opt/local/share/darwinports/resources/port1.0/fetch/mirror_sites.tcl
This file includes a HTTP redirect within the HTML, but I do not know if the HTTP response header includes the redirect or not. Is it possible that libcurl is ignoring HTTP redirects?

I just started a new opendarwin installation from scratch yesterday on my new Macbook Pro (intel processor with Tiger 10.4.6), and the problem reported here is still happening: for gnome packages, www.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu is not responding and files loaded from public.planetmirror.com are getting a bad checksum. What's worse is that the installation is left in a bad state that it can't automatically recover from. It gets errors like this:
---> Verifying checksum(s) for gail Error: Target com.apple.checksum returned: Could not open file: /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/gail/gail-1.8.11.tar.bz2 Error: /opt/local/bin/port: Status 1 encountered during processing.
I found I needed to remove the line "com.apple.fetch" from /opt/local/var/db/dports/build/_opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports_gnome_gail/work/.darwinports.gail.state to allow it to try again. And yes, I found that I needed to change the mirrors.tcl file to avoid the planetmirror.com. I think it ought to continue trying other mirrors if a checksum fails.
In summary, I'm suggesting 3 things:
- If a fetch fails (or maybe it's the checksum failing that's the problem), don't leave com.apple.fetch in the state file.
- If a checksum fails after download, continue to try other mirrors.
- Change the mirrors.tcl list for gnome to move or remove planetmirror and gatech.

This one is described better so I makerd #2409 as the duplicate.
