Author Checksum errors using CPAN module
Paul Galbraith

2004-05-19, 2:30 am

I'm trying to use the CPAN modules, ala "perl -MCPAN -E shell", and then
from the shell "install Net::Ident".

The ident tgz package gets downloaded, but then the CPAN module
complains that their is a checksum mismatch. I suppose it's
possible...but it seems more likely to be a configuration problem of
some sort that's preventing CPAN from working properly...does anyone
have any suggestions to get this to work?

Here's the tail of the CPAN output when I try to install Net::Ident

----------

Trying with "/usr/bin/lynx -source" to get
ftp://cpan.chebucto.ns.ca/pub/CPAN/...P/JPC/CHECKSUMS

Checksum mismatch for distribution file. Please investigate.

Distribution id = J/JP/JPC/Net-Ident-1.20.tar.gz
CPAN_USERID JPC (Jan-Pieter Cornet <johnpc@xs4all.nl> )
CALLED_FOR Net::Ident
CONTAINSMODS Net::Ident
MD5_STATUS
incommandcolor 1
localfile
/root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/J/JP/JPC/Net-Ident-1.20.tar.gz

I'd recommend removing
/root/.cpan/sources/authors/id/J/JP/JPC/Net-Ident-1.20.tar.gz. Its MD5
checksum is incorrect. Maybe you have configured your 'urllist' with
a bad URL. Please check this array with 'o conf urllist', and
retry.
