1 I just posted in the wiki, as there is no way for me yet to communicate
2 in the normal internet, not the Schmoog, Stasibook and all the big
3 players' crazy internet... I'm working on it, but not there yet...
4
5 And for the above reasons [I just posted in] this [wiki]:
6 https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Overlay_Talk:Youbroketheinternet
7
8 I hope it's pretty clear what the problem is.
9
10 Ouch!... I have to summarize it here, can't force the readers to go to
11 pages if they don't want to, without a summary first...
12
13 So, fetching packages for the overlay:
14 http://youbroketheinternet.org/#overlay
15 that I reached to from:
16 https://overlays.gentoo.org/
17 all went fine, except for one exact file, as witnessed by the log in my
18 Overlay_Talk:Youbroketheinternet post of today:
19 ...
20 >>> Downloading 'http://data.iana.org/root-anchors/root-anchors.xml'
21 ...
22 and later:
23 ...
24 > /usr/portage/distfiles/root-anchors-20100715.xml._checksum_failure_.wxcel31j
25 ...
26
27 And, as I wrote in that post:
28 > I think that a 7 ys old root-anchors-20100715.xml XML file having been
29 > changed, or me being MiTM'ed, or the developers having got exactly and

35
36 Or is it really still that the IANA changed that nearly 7 yrs old file?
37
38 Can anybody:
39
40 1) alert the gnunet developers about this
41
42 2) suggest a solution for fixing this issue (w/o which can't emerge
43 gnunet)
44
45 Regards!
