Hi all,
I am trying to update my installations of firefox and thunderbird. I have
done this several times in the past with no problems but lately I get the
following errors (see below). Anyone else seeing this? I can update other ports just fine...
Thanks Rich
Well, the output you sent tells us that you have a "checksum mismatch" for the firefox tarball. Basically, the firefox tarball is corrupt - the system can't verify that it's the right file.
Most likely, a tarball was partially downloaded, and for some reason was truncated before fetch got finished with it (e.g. connection dropped, you control-C'ed out to do something else, whatever), or it's possible that the file was simply corrupted in transfer.
This is a pretty easy fix --- all you should have to do is delete the bad tarball from /usr/ports/distfiles and start the process again.
HTH,
