Bug 255692 – sci-libs/szip-2.1: broken URL to source code tar.gz and probably checksum

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Valeri Sokolov 2009-01-20 20:33:38 UTC]

Error rises while fetching package. URL 'ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/lib-external/szip/2.1/szip-2.1.tar.gz' is wrong. Right URL is 'ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/lib-external/szip/2.1/src/szip-2.1.tar.gz'.

Also, checksum may be wrong too.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. # emerge -f =sci-libs/szip-2.1
2. enjoy
3.

Actual Results:  
>>> Downloading 'ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/lib-external/szip/2.1/szip-2.1.tar.gz'

Please re-open, file checksum has changed again:

2011-08-12 11:54:21 (212 KB/s) - `/usr/portage/distfiles/szip-2.1.tar.gz' saved [383219]

('Filesize does not match recorded size', 383219, 395864)
!!! Fetched file: szip-2.1.tar.gz VERIFY FAILED!
!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size
!!! Got:      383219
!!! Expected: 395864
Refetching... File renamed to '/usr/portage/distfiles/szip-2.1.tar.gz._checksum_failure_.ivI2Bl'

Pursue upstream with a cluebat, as they keep on silently changing source files. See diff.

Fixed in tree.
