[gentoo-user] Upgrade problem with perl-cleaner

[gentoo-user] Upgrade problem with perl-cleaner

[Colleen Beamer]

Hi,

I really have very little problem with my Gentoo system, but today on an
upgrade I received the following message related to perl-cleaner:

!!! Digest verification Failed:
!!! /usr/portage/distfiles/perl-cleaner-1.03.tar.gz
!!! Readon: Filesize does not match recorded size

I'm sorry to bother you with this.  I tried searching the forums, but
when I entered a search term, I got either no pages or thousands of
pages.  I looked on  the bug list and the closest thing was a message
related to a check-sum.  I tried looking at the documentation, but
didn't find anything that told me what to do to correct this.  I even
did a "no-no" and resync'd.

Any help here would be appreciated.  I would file a bug, but I'm not
sure exactly if this is a bug or something that is correctable and I
just don't know how to do it.

Regards,

Colleen

You should check the mail-list archives here...it has come up a couple
of times in the last day or so.

First, try to simply remove the offending distfile and allow it to be
downloaded again.  As long as your portage tree is in sync with your
download mirror, you should end up with a file that is 4611 bytes in
size.

In the worst case, you can do:
ebuild /usr/portage/app-admin/perl-cleaner/perl-cleaner-1.03.ebuild digest

The above will work around the problem, but the next time you sync
(and then merge perl-cleaner) it may come up again.

BTW, this happened because the package was updated without a new
version, so the Manifest was also updated.  You got the new manifest
when you synced, but you still had the 'old' distfile.

This issue popped up in someone's "upgrade to GCC 4.1" thread. 
Apparently some of the mirrors have the wrong version of the archive - 
try downloading it directly from upstream, or from a different distfiles 
mirror.

Hi,
There was such a thread on this ML.
IIRC just remove/erase the source file from distfiles dir and fetch it
again. Then emerge ...

I just had the same thing here.  I deleted the file from
/usr/portage/distfiles then let it re-download it.  It worked fine then.

First, thanks for the help to all those who replied.  I tried the above,
but it didn't work.  However, I took another person's suggestion and
tried another mirror.  I learned something in the process! :-)  Thanks
again!
