Fresh install 0f 23.7 update fails at python

[echinida]

I have a fresh install of 23.7 on an old laptop to exprore opnsense as an alternative to pfsense+ .
Updating fails consistently with second download and install. Here is the output but what is the fix?

Have you tried a different mirror? Python is a rather large package, maybe the download fails for some reason?

Cheers

Thanks - changing mirror from the default worked

[franco]

I'm not sure if this got worse over the years in the FreeBSD package manager... if the downloaded file doesn't match the checksum of the mirror (could be download error, could be mirror issue -- looking at you, Cloudflare)... it will not do anything until the cached file is cleared manually, which the GUI obviously can't do.


Cheers,
Franco

I'm pretty sure this stupidity did not exist at some point. Very likely an upstream "improvement".
