I'd been getting this error for the last two or three days - at least since since Friday May 11. At first I figured someone must be working on something and that it would sort itself out when a new version of the file was available. Also, I read somewhere that a mirror gets refreshed weekly(?), but I still kept getting the same as other folks have reported: port install php5 ---> Verifying checksum(s) for pkgconfig Error: Checksum (md5) mismatch for pkg-config-0.21.tar.gz Error: Checksum (sha1) mismatch for pkg-config-0.21.tar.gz Error: Checksum (rmd160) mismatch for pkg-config-0.21.tar.gz Error: Target com.apple.checksum returned: Unable to verify file checksums Error: The following dependencies failed to build: curl pkgconfig expat freetype gettext libiconv jpeg libmcrypt libpng libxml2 libxslt mhash pcre tiff Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. This happened twice more just yesterday. Looking at Ryan's post of May 6th, I went to http:// pkgconfig.freedesktop.org, saw pkg-config-0.21.tar.gz at http:// pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/, and was able to download it and un-tar it successfully. I looked in /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/pkgconfig and found the cause of my continuing problem to be a truncated pkg- config-0.21.tar.gz, only 238 bytes in length. I copied the good file to /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/ pkgconfig and now my install seems to be running happily. I'm new to Darwinports/Macports, but have used Fink and Fink Commander quite a bit previously and never had a similar problem. I haven't dug into how Darwinports/Macports works, but I will. Meantime, shouldn't "port install" be able to trap such an error and recover from it by downloading the file again?
