#14028: ncbi_tools, 20061015, Checksum failure, then missing getfeat. ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: matts@possiamo.com | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: ncbi_tools, checksum | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- When trying to install ncbi_tools, I get a '''checksum''' error: {{{ % sudo port install ncbi_tools ---> Fetching ncbi_tools ---> Attempting to fetch ncbi.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/toolbox/ncbi_tools/ ---> Verifying checksum(s) for ncbi_tools Error: Checksum (md5) mismatch for ncbi.tar.gz Error: Target org.macports.checksum returned: Unable to verify file checksums Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. }}} We managed to get the file, md5 it, update the local portfile, and start the install, only to find that '''getfeat''' is missing? {{{ % sudo port install ncbi_tools Portfile changed since last build; discarding previous state. ---> Fetching ncbi_tools ---> Verifying checksum(s) for ncbi_tools ---> Extracting ncbi_tools ---> Configuring ncbi_tools ---> Building ncbi_tools ---> Staging ncbi_tools into destroot Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: xinstall: Cannot stat: /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_science_ncbi_tools/work/ncbi/bin/getfeat, No such file or directory Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. }}} A suggestion: A google search shows that the checksum error has occurred before. In other MacPort-like systems, many libraries have started including version numbers in their file names to combat similar situations. This practice also ensures that prior versions of the libraries remain available. I have noticed that python, xfce, and a few others are starting to do this in MacPorts. I was unable to find similar guidelines in the MacPorts wiki. Perhaps there are other measures available in MacPorts? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14028> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
