Description Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-02-06 06:22:41 UTC 
My "emerge -u portage" lead to a:

!!! portage-2.0.46-r11.tar.bz2: message digests do not match!
!!! portage-2.0.46-r11.tar.bz2 is corrupt or incomplete.
>>> our recorded digest: 87ac1e6e09f548f1c1c181ed83167e2b

>>> Please delete /usr/portage/distfiles/portage-2.0.46-r11.tar.bz2 and refetch.

Then I did a:

# emerge -f portage

Is there any automated way to handle these fetch failures?
Comment 1 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-02-06 08:47:44 UTC 
In portage-2.0.46-r11... It autodetects bad 404 mirrors...
Comment 2 Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-02-10 06:05:58 UTC 
Sorry to say that, but even with portage-2.0.46-r12 it doesn't work:

# emerge -u glib pango atk gtk+ imagemagick

Comment 3 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-02-10 06:33:10 UTC 
cyber, please take care of the faulty mirror?
Comment 4 Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-02-21 18:00:40 UTC 
http://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/ doesn't work yet... Either somebody has a look on the software, or kicks its admin, or...

I've taken that mirror out of my personal list...
Comment 5 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-02-22 09:26:00 UTC 
That's a bad 404 redirect.

Just as a note... Portage >=2.0.47-r2 autohandles that.
Comment 6 Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-02-22 19:45:07 UTC 
Sorry, I need to say that 2.0.47-r2 produces the same problem at least with http://ftp.tu-clausthal.de.
Comment 7 Klaus-J. Wolf 2003-02-26 17:08:10 UTC 
Fine, 2.0.47-r4 finally works, at least with that slightly selfish ftp.tu-clausthal.de. ;-)
Comment 8 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-02-26 23:00:09 UTC 
fixed :)
