• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description folken 2005-04-02 06:51:03 UTC]

m4-1.4.3-tar-bz2 from distfiles.gentoo.org fails md5 checksum.

The file i downloaded has the checksum:

95c5a808dff20b6fbf71e4f620597dfc  /usr/portage/distfiles/m4-1.4.3.tar.bz2

The digest expects: 
1f7d7eba70a0525c44c2edc3998925c7 m4-1.4.3.tar.bz2 305598

I just tried to unpack the file.. it seems the file is corrupt.

[Comment 2 folken 2005-04-02 07:11:04 UTC]

seems to be broken upstream:

http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.3.tar.bz2 matches in size and md5sum. 
But is a broken file. 

[Comment 3 Alexander Jenisch 2005-04-02 07:12:30 UTC]

confirmed.

[Comment 4 Sven Wegener 2005-04-02 08:53:55 UTC]

Our mirror script seems to have downloaded a bad version of the file. I've set
up manual distribution of the file to our mirrors. It should show up in a couple
of hours.

[Comment 7 Eric Herot 2005-04-02 18:33:44 UTC]

Something about the way this bug is categorized is causing it not to show up when a search is conducted for 'm4'

Someone may want to fix that if they get to it before the package fix is finished propagating.

[Comment 8 Eric Herot 2005-04-02 18:36:32 UTC]

Oops, that'd be because it's marked as resolved, my bad.

[Comment 9 Brian Pankey 2005-04-07 19:53:59 UTC]

i just emerged sync'd not 5 seconds ago and i STILL get the same digest error...today being april 7th :/

[Comment 10 SpanKY 2005-04-07 20:07:18 UTC]

mirrors fix themselves eventually

use a different one or just grab it from our main one on gentoo.osuosl.org

[Comment 11 folken 2005-04-08 03:23:43 UTC]

perhabs you haven't deleted the file in your distfiles? You need to delete it,
as the file that was on the mirrors seems to have been broken.
