>Description:
The distinfo file fetched for sysutils/bacula
(that is: bacula-1.38.3.tar.gz)
does not seem to be the same file that the sysutils/bacula
package is expecting (most likely the distfile has been
updated, or something).
>How-To-Repeat:
mv ..../distfiles/bacula-1.38.3.tar.gz /somewhere/safe
cd ..../pkgsrc/sysutils/bacula
make checksum
Observe the current version of pkgsrc fetch the same file
from every sourcefourge missor it can find, every one
of them failing the checksum test. This, incidentally,
is pretty silly - trying two or three times after a checksum
error is reasonable, trying 20 times or whatever this does,
expecially when the same (apparently incorrect) file is
being fetched frmo all of them is simply ludicrous
>Fix:
Someone with the distfile that pkgsrc is expecting should
compare that one with the one that's available from
sourceforge (and ftp.netbsd.org) and see work out what the
differences are. Assuming it is an innocouos change,
update the distinfo file.
