emerge system fails

Message

I have looked through the forums, and haven't found an answer to this one. I have complete the install through the guide, and I can get up to emerging the system, and then I get a md5 check sum error everytime.

Code: Select all

emerge system
Calculating system dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 11) app-arch/cpio-2.5 to /

!!! Digest verification Failed:
!!!    /usr/portage/distfiles/cpio-2.5.tar.gz
!!! Reason: Failed on MD5 verification

Any suggestions?

The download maybe corrupt or the checksum maybe incorrect, try this

cd /usr/portage/distfiles
rm cpio-2.5.tar.gz
emerge sync
emerge system

We are removing the offending file and sync portage to ensure all checksums are correct (incase any corrections have been made) and retrying the merge.

I tried your suggestion and I got this when emerging the system:

If you trust that the file you are getting is correct you can always re-digest the ebuild.

rm /usr/portage/distfiles/cpio-2.5.tar.gz
sudo ebuild /usr/portage/app-arch/cpio/cpio-2.5.ebuild digest
emerge cpio

Btw, cpio-2.6-r1 works fine for OSX fine for me.

Still no luck, this is the message I get:

Could this problem be due that I am behind a proxy?

hakejam,

I had a similar problem with museseq giving me the same error. This post showed me the problem.

Try doing an

Code: Select all

emerge -f packagename
emerge packagename

The -f will try to fetch the package from the first mirror in /etc/make.conf. In my case the package from the first mirror had a bad checksum, so emerge -f automatically went to the second and then the third mirror until it found a "valid" package. The second emerge will install the package you already downloaded with the -f switch.
