Description Patrick Lauer gentoo-dev 2004-08-23 08:21:57 UTC
!!! File is corrupt or incomplete. (Digests do not match)
>>> our recorded digest: ede969aad568f48083e413384f20753c
>>>  your file's digest: 68469065a41c2755ebd665a328faea2d
!!! File does not exist: /usr/portage/distfiles//glibc-2.3.2.tar.bz2

this seems to be caused by a broken redirection (first 200 bytes of file are html)

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. add datapipe.net to mirrors
2. emerge -f anything
3.

Actual Results:  
very often the md5 sums mismatch


This problem has randomly appeared over the last few days.

Dinesh,

Any clue as to whats going on here? I removed you from the mirror listing on our website temporarily until we can resolve this issue. Thanks!

Dinesh no longer works here, so I am the new contact for the dp mirror.

Patrick, which access method are you using to get the file? (http or ftp)

I was not able to reproduce the problem, how often does it happen?  Can you include the first 200 bytes of the file that got corrupted?

Thanks,
Dan

ok, I found the problem.  Recently a HTTP protection device was put in front of this subnet.  This was returning the 205-byte HTML page.  I have now removed the mirror's IP from this device, and HTTP transfers from outside our network work now.

Please let me know if you have any further concerns.

Thanks,
Dan

Daniel,

Thanks for the quick response and fix. Hope we didn't cause too many problems. I've added the datapipe mirror back onto our listing. Thanks!
