There has already been a ticket put in for this (3 weeks ago!) http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/12452 I am also having this problem, and before everybody starts saying "just change the checksum in the Portfile": 1) Changing the checksum in the Portfile is at best a silly thing to do, as it defeats the whole purpose of having a checksum. At worst, you could really mess things on up on your system by attempting to corrupted file, or install something else entirely since you are disregarding the guarantee that the file you received is the file you expected. 2) It doesn't work for this anyway. In this case the file in question is in fact corrupt, and changing the checksum will just get you an error message telling you as much. This is probably a very simple matter for somebody with the right permissions to fix, but until that happens there's really not much you can do other than go download, build, and install the software yourself.

I am trying to install the mysql-connector-java port, but am encountering a checksum failure:

...

sudo port install mysql-connector-java ---> Fetching mysql-connector-java ---> Verifying checksum(s) for mysql-connector-java Error: Checksum (md5) mismatch for mysql-connector-java-5.0.4.tar.gz Error: Target org.macports.checksum returned: Unable to verify file checksums Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Is there a fix or workaround?

thanks scott

Hey Scott, Don't worry about it. I happened to see that ticket a couple weeks ago when I was looking for tickets about a problem I was having installing subversion, so I just knew it was there already. I just wish this would get fixed, because I'd much rather have macports keep track of the software I've installed than do it myself. Previous experience suggests that isn't one of my strengths... :-) Best of luck, Brian On 8/31/07, Scott Harper <scott@mycellularsessions.com> wrote:

Thanks Brian.

I did search the "MacPorts - Tickets" forum for "mysql-connector-java" and didn't find that ticket... my apologies... I guess I'm not searching the right places.

port edit mysql-connector-java

And then change the version to 5.0.7 and the md5 checksum to:

d177ce7397b119f013458cec0418ad2d

Then run "port install" as usual. Please report back if the updated version works, so we can update it in macports.

That appears to work properly... scott -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Checksum-failure-on-mysql-connector-java-tf4360936.htm... Sent from the MacPorts - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
