Bug 97860 – nxssh package fails digest verification

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Shelby 2005-07-03 18:00:39 UTC]

Using "emerge -f nxserver-freenx" eventually yields the result:

!!! Digest verification Failed:
!!!    /usr/portage/net-misc/nxssh/ChangeLog
!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sync
2. emerge -f nxserver-freenx
Actual Results:  
>>> emerge (3 of 5) net-misc/nxssh-1.4.0-r1 to /
>>> Previously fetched file: nxssh-1.4.0-21.tar.gz size ;-)
>>> Previously fetched file: nxssh-1.4.0-21.tar.gz MD5 ;-)

!!! Digest verification Failed:
!!!    /usr/portage/net-misc/nxssh/ChangeLog
!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size

>>> Please ensure you have sync'd properly. Please try 'emerge sync' and
>>> optionally examine the file(s) for corruption. A sync will fix most cases.


!!! Fetch for /usr/portage/net-misc/nxssh/nxssh-1.4.0-r1.ebuild failed,
continuing...

Works here, please emerge sync again.

Just did another emerge sync, followed by emerge nxssh:

>>> emerge (1 of 1) net-misc/nxssh-1.4.0-r1 to /

Which mirror do you use?

Also, I just did another 'emerge sync'. I then deleted nxssh-1.4.0-21.tar.gz
from /usr/portage/distfiles and had it redownload the file. It still gives the
original error.

That's pretty pointless. As the error message says, it fails with
/usr/portage/net-misc/nxssh/ChangeLog. Please, change the mirror and try again.

http://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo/
http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/Gentoo
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/
http://gentoo.mirrors.easynews.com/linux/gentoo/

Tried the above mirrors and got the same error about ChangeLog.

This bug was fixed when the Manifest for nxssh 1.5.0 was added to the tree.

Best regards,
