I conclude that the distfile on ftp.freebsd.org is bad. I think the workaround from your point is to fetch it from the actual MASTER_SITE or follow the directions given to you to ignore the problem (This is safe, a diff -ruN shows no differences). The other more permanent fixes are to add the second checksum to the md5 file or get the correct version on ftp.freebsd.org. --- Chris Piazza Abbotsford, BC, Canada cpiazza@home.net finger norn@norn.ca.eu.org for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
