Problems building Mysql55-server port (no suitable checksum found)

[Olaf Greve]

Hi,

I'm not sure if the problem I'm about to describe is known and/or has been dealt with previously, but I couldn't find any suitable hits on it using Google; so I hope I'm not flogging a dead horse here. :P

The set-up is as follows: 
Years ago I installed a server using 5.4-RELEASE AMD64, with a custom kernel. 
uname -a
Gives me the following (anonimised) output:
FreeBSD anon.nl 5.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0: Thu Oct 13 01:02:19 CEST 2005     root at anon.nl:/usr/src/sys/amd64/compile/ANONKERNEL001  amd64

I installed the ports tree in the standard manner back then, and always successfully used it to install ports. 
Now, it has been quite a few moons since I last had to do something on that machine, but such a situation has now arissen, and.... ...of course I tried to go 'the ports' way.

What I tried doing (everything as root, so no rights issues...) was to first manually deinstall my old versions of php4 (and extensions), mysql 4.0.x and Apache 2.2.x. No problem.

Then, I updated the ports tree ('all' collection) using the standard call: /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile

Again, no problem and the tree refreshed just fine.

Then, the problems started to arise when I tried to 'make' the mysql55-server port, as it buggered out (regardless of what make target I used) stating:
# cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql55-server
# make config
"Makefile", line 48: Could not find bsd.port.options.mk
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue

After searching using Google I found out that that file should be present in /usr/share/mk and that it was not there! No idea why it was missing (I think all, or most of the other ones were there), but copying it from /usr/porst/Mk to that directory at least resolved this issue.

Now then... with all seemingly fine, I tried to make it using the following call: 
make INSTALL_MYSQLDATADIR=/usr/local/mysql WITH_CHARSET=utf8 WITH_XCHARSET=all WITH_COLLATION=utf8_unicode_ci install

However, it again buggers out, after having downloaded the package. A 'make clean' also doesn't help. This time it complains about the checksum. As per the below output:

make INSTALL_MYSQLDATADIR=/usr/local/mysql WITH_CHARSET=utf8 WITH_XCHARSET=all WITH_COLLATION=utf8_unicode_ci install
===>  Vulnerability check disabled, database not found
===>  License check disabled, port has not defined LICENSE
===>  Found saved configuration for mysql-server-5.5.9
===>  Extracting for mysql-server-5.5.9
=> No suitable checksum found for mysql-5.5.9.tar.gz.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/databases/mysql55-server.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/databases/mysql55-server.


Previously I never had issues such as the above with this system and the ports structure and this is issue nr. 2 already in a single port :(

Does anyone know what might be going on, and more importantly, how to fix this (if necessary by reinstalling the entire ports tree)? Does this sound like the mysql-server-5.5.9 port is perhaps flaky, or is my system messed up or too outdated or so?!?

Thanks in advance and with kind regards,
Olaf
