Bug 21980 – emerge system digest mismatch for multiple packages

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Anthony Kaufman 2003-05-30 23:04:23 UTC]

I'm installing Gentoo for the first time on my newly built system.  When I do an
emerge system I come up with a digest mismatch on m4_1.4-15.diff.gz.

Calculating system dependencies    ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 63) sys-devel/m4-1.4 to /
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) m4-1.4.tar.gz

!!! File is corrupt or incomplete. (Digests do not match)
>>> our recorded digest: dd3b693906f1a69319d8b99b914df25b
>>>  your file's digest: 3bd4f26bf2c3d1d74d17227446f1817e
!!! File does not exist: /usr/portage/distfiles//m4_1.4-15.diff.gz

Though the path is wrong in the "file doesn't exist" message, the file I have
matches the md5 shown.  (Checked it on another system)

Though this may not be wrong, m4_1.4-15.diff is not gziped though it has a gzip
extension.  Gziping the file doesn't produce the correct md5 either.

I gziped the file and edited the recorded md5 manually thinking it might just be
a problem with one file.  However, I ran into the same problem with sash.

I've tried to emerge sync many times as well as switched to different mirrors
after deleting the files in question.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
From what I can tell I followed the x86 install directions
I also modified my /etc/make.conf file to the specifications below
Actual Results:  
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) m4-1.4.tar.gz

!!! File is corrupt or incomplete. (Digests do not match)
>>> our recorded digest: dd3b693906f1a69319d8b99b914df25b
>>>  your file's digest: 3bd4f26bf2c3d1d74d17227446f1817e
!!! File does not exist: /usr/portage/distfiles//m4_1.4-15.diff.gz

Expected Results:  
Continue with installation


!!! No gcc found. You probably need to 'source /etc/profile' to update
!!! the environment of this terminal and possibly other terminals also.

wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/m4/m4_1.4-15.diff.gz
md5sum m4_1.4-15.diff.gz
dd3b693906f1a69319d8b99b914df25b  m4_1.4-15.diff.gz

md5 and file is good (SRC_URI & OSU)

delete the file from ${DISTDIR}
then run again

Just FYI I've tracked down the problem to the fact that I'm behind an http content filter (DansGuardian).  Somehow it modifies the files on the way in.  wget --passive-ftp gets me a file with a valid check sum.  Sorry for the hassel.
