• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Samuel Penn 2006-06-19 09:38:26 UTC]

Upgrading to sys-libs/ncurses-5.5-r2 from 5.4-r6 fails:

!!! Digest verification failed:
!!! /usr/portage/distfiles/ncurses-5.5.tar.gz
!!! Reason: Failed on MD5 verification
!!! Got: ca29b6c8f8d5db59baa2d51d1f5834c7
!!! Expected: e73c1ac10b4bfc46db43b2ddfd6244ef

It's been like this for the last couple of days.

either your mirror or your connection is broken

delete the file and try again

[Comment 3 Samuel Penn 2006-06-20 00:33:01 UTC]

Done that, still fails. Doesn't a broken mirror count as a bug?
If the bug doesn't get reported here, where do I report a broken mirror?
I'm downloading from ftp://212.219.56.152/sites.www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/distfiles

that looks like an unofficial mirror to me ... nothing we can do about those
