While trying to install rmagick I ran into a faulty mirror or something and the libxml2 distribution file wasn’t verifying.

I’d tried to clean the port and reinstall but that failed.

Here’s the magic:

sudo port clean --work --dist <port_name>

Until I did that it told me again and again it was fetching the port but it was actually just pulling a cached version.

E.g.,

tim@manhattan:~$ sudo port install rb-rmagick

Error: Checksum (rmd160) mismatch for libxml2-2.6.30.tar.gz
Error: Target org.macports.checksum returned: Unable to verify file checksums
