[gentoo-user] Upgrade problem with perl-cleaner
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.

Readon: Filesize does not match recorded size 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. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Apparently some of the mirrors have the wrong version of the archive - try downloading it directly from upstream, or from a different distfiles mirror. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I deleted the file from /usr/portage/distfiles then let it re-download it. It worked fine then. Dale :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

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!
