Macports: Error: org.macports.checksum

Today I added suhosin package with macports. But I found Error: org.macports.checksum for port ncurses. The error message indicates that downloaded package was broke. I tried to install it again and the error persists.

Fortunately, macports can get rid these kind of errors by cleaning up the damaged package using sudo port clean package_name command. You can install the package again after cleaning up.

Therefore, I use these commands to do that

sudo port clean ncurses
sudo port selfupdate // make sure the port is in the latest version
sudo port install ncurses

You can use it to do the same on other package, just change ncurses with the broken package name.
