#50174: Latexdiff won't build because of checksum failure; breaks texlive -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: rpgoldman@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Keywords: | Port: latexdiff -------------------------+-------------------------------- When I try to build texlive, it triggers building of latexdiff. Specifically, it tries to download latexdiff-1.1.0_2.darwin_15.noarch.tbz2 port can't find this tarball because the most up-to-date version on the servers (at least the ones that I search) is latexdiff-1.1.0_2.darwin_14.noarch.tbz2 Unable to find the tarball it wants, port falls back to loading latexdiff.zip from CTAN. After downloading the zipfile, port raises a checksum verification error and crashes. I'm afraid I'm not sophisticated enough to know: 1. why is it that port wants to load version _15 2. why it falls back from loading a tarball to loading a zipfile 3. where the checksum it's using comes from and why it tries to apply the checksum for a tarball to a zip file. The exact error transcript is: {{{ ---> Fetching archive for latexdiff ---> Attempting to fetch latexdiff-1.1.0_2.darwin_15.noarch.tbz2 from http://packages.macports.org/latexdiff ---> Attempting to fetch latexdiff-1.1.0_2.darwin_15.noarch.tbz2 from http://mse.uk.packages.macports.org/sites/packages.macports.org/latexdiff ---> Attempting to fetch latexdiff-1.1.0_2.darwin_15.noarch.tbz2 from http://lil.fr.packages.macports.org/latexdiff ---> Fetching distfiles for latexdiff ---> Attempting to fetch latexdiff.zip from http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/CTAN/support ---> Verifying checksums for latexdiff Error: Checksum (rmd160) mismatch for latexdiff.zip Error: Checksum (sha256) mismatch for latexdiff.zip Error: org.macports.checksum for port latexdiff returned: Unable to verify file checksums Error: Failed to install latexdiff }}} I will attach the logfile. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50174> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
