Root Cause Analysis 🔍

The downloaded source tarball tk9.0.2-src.tar.gz has a different SHA256 checksum (76fb852b2f167592fe8b41aa6549ce4e486dbf3b259a269646600e3894517c76) than what was expected in the package definition (293e93dd43678ff9d17264e1211422f91787e9620d97d28cd96ff303ec7acf6a). This could indicate that the source file has been updated at the upstream location without updating the package definition, or that the wrong checksum was specified in the package definition.

Update the expected SHA256 checksum to match the actual file's checksum

Analysis

The pattern in the similar fixed build failures is consistent: both examples involve checksum mismatches due to updated upstream source packages. In both cases, the fix was to update the package version and the expected SHA256 checksum to match the current file available from the source. This is a common issue when upstream packages are updated but the package definition in the build system hasn't been updated to reflect these changes. The fix in both examples involved:

1. Updating the package version to the latest available
2. Updating the expected SHA256 checksum to match the actual file's checksum

In the current failure, we're seeing the same pattern - the tk source tarball has likely been updated at the upstream location, resulting in a different checksum than what's specified in the package definition.

Explanation

The error clearly indicates that the downloaded tk9.0.2-src.tar.gz file has a different SHA256 checksum (76fb852b2f167592fe8b41aa6549ce4e486dbf3b259a269646600e3894517c76) than what was expected in the package definition (293e93dd43678ff9d17264e1211422f91787e9620d97d28cd96ff303ec7acf6a).

This is likely because the upstream source has been updated or repackaged without changing the version number. This happens occasionally with source distributions, where minor changes are made to the package (perhaps fixing small issues or updating documentation) without incrementing the version number.

The simplest and most direct fix is to update the expected SHA256 checksum in the package definition to match the actual checksum of the file currently available from the source. This approach is consistent with the fixes applied in the similar build failures, where the expected SHA256 was updated to match the actual checksum of the downloaded file.

Since the version number is still 9.0.2 and we're not seeing indications that a newer version is available, we should maintain the current version but update the checksum to match what's being served from the sourceforge repository. This allows the build to proceed with the current version of the package.

Alternative Approaches

• Verify if a newer version of tk is available and update both the version and checksum. This would be appropriate if 9.0.2 is no longer the latest version.
• If possible, contact the upstream maintainers to understand why the package was updated without a version change, and consider pinning to a specific commit or archive snapshot for better reproducibility.
• Add a checksum verification bypass for this specific package, though this would be a less secure approach and should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.
• Try an alternative download source for the tk package if available, which might still have the original file with the expected checksum.
