Root Cause Analysis 🔍

The downloaded source archive (rhash-1.4.6-src.tar.gz) has a SHA256 checksum of 9f6019cfeeae8ace7067ad22da4e4f857bb2cfa6c2deaa2258f55b2227ec937a, but the build expected f489738899e24c781d35cce9d11ca94b348d3e693c922248e4cfb76432c91346. This indicates either the source archive has changed at the remote location or the expected checksum in the package definition is incorrect.

Analysis

The build failure is a checksum mismatch during the fetch step. The downloaded rhash-1.4.6-src.tar.gz file has a SHA256 checksum of 9f6019cfeeae8ace7067ad22da4e4f857bb2cfa6c2deaa2258f55b2227ec937a, but the expected checksum in the Melange YAML is f489738899e24c781d35cce9d11ca94b348d3e693c922248e4cfb76432c91346. This indicates that either the source archive has been updated at the remote location without a version change, or the expected checksum in the package definition is incorrect. Since there are no similar fixed failures provided, I'll focus on the specific issue at hand.

Explanation

The build failure occurs because the SHA256 checksum of the downloaded rhash-1.4.6-src.tar.gz file (9f6019cfeeae8ace7067ad22da4e4f857bb2cfa6c2deaa2258f55b2227ec937a) doesn't match the expected checksum defined in the Melange YAML (f489738899e24c781d35cce9d11ca94b348d3e693c922248e4cfb76432c91346).

This type of mismatch typically happens when:

1. The upstream project has silently updated their release archive without changing the version number
2. The source has been moved to a mirror that has a different file
3. The original checksum was incorrect

Since the error clearly indicates the actual checksum of the downloaded file, and the package has an update mechanism enabled (via release-monitor), the simplest solution is to update the expected checksum in the Melange YAML to match the actual file being downloaded.

The fix involves updating the expected-sha256 value in the fetch step of the pipeline to use the new checksum that was reported in the error message. This will allow the build to proceed with the current version of the source archive.

Before implementing this fix, it would be prudent to verify that:

1. The source archive is legitimate and from the official project
2. There are no security concerns with using the updated archive

Alternative Approaches

• Instead of updating the checksum, we could investigate if there's a specific tagged release or commit hash of rhash 1.4.6 that should be used, and modify the URI to point to that specific archive.
• We could contact the upstream maintainers to understand why the archive changed and ensure there are no security implications before updating the checksum.
• We could modify the fetch step to use a different source for the rhash tarball, such as GitHub releases if available, which might provide more stable archives.
