Bug 19045 – Gentoo-GDM-themes.tar.bz2 checksum invalid

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description ryan wendt 2003-04-09 12:52:09 UTC]

Yes, it does sound normal(as far as a misdownload) but it isn't. When I tried 
emerge gnome, it got pretty far(2/3) until the emerge of gdm(2.4.1.3 I think), 
which stated that the checksum for the gentoo-gdm-themes.tar.bz2 file was 
incorrect. Now, I tried this several times(I d/l it about four times), and even 
tried installing it different ways(used the ebuild, the tarball and the normal 
way) and nothing worked. I even downloaded the next to last version to see if 
this fixed it, but it did not. I have a feeling this is something obvious, but 
I asked around a little(really little) if anyone knew about this problem, and 
no one did.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge gnome
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
I get an error that the checksum is invalid for gentoo-gdm-themes.tar.bz2

Expected Results:  
Installed it correctly so I would have GDM.

I was in the terminal, emerging kde as well. I have an AMD Athlon XP 2200+ 512 
MBs DDR RAM, Asus Nvidia nForce motherboards.

which mirror are you downloading from ? 

i've tried both the ibibilo and mirror.ac.uk and it downloads the valid file, so it seem there's something wrong with the mirror you're getting it from. 

also you could try : GENTOO_MIRRORS="" emerge gdm
to force it to not use any mirrors.

yeah, the digest may have been out of sync a few days ago for at most a couple of hours, but that shouldn't be a problem anymore.
