Error installing boost Verification checksum was incorrect

[wswebcreation]

I'm developing a Mobile app with React Native (0.73.1) and for building the app I need to install the pods. The pods contains installing boos, see this file.

I get the following error

Installing boost (1.83.0)

[!] Error installing boost
Verification checksum was incorrect, expected 6478edfe2f3305127cffe8caf73ea0176c53769f4bf1585be237eb30798c3b8e, got 5e89103d9b70bba5c91a794126b169cb67654be2051f90cf7c22ba6893ede0ff

When I check this site I see the checksum should be 6478edfe2f3305127cffe8caf73ea0176c53769f4bf1585be237eb30798c3b8e

When I do this on my Mac

curl -sL https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.83.0/source/boost_1_83_0.tar.bz2 | shasum -a 256

5e89103d9b70bba5c91a794126b169cb67654be2051f90cf7c22ba6893ede0ff  -

I get a different checksum

Please let me know what I need to provide more to debug this

+1, this worked for me too.

[netanelz-amdocs]

It started to happen again today....

It started to happen again today....

did you solve it ?

[devshaaran]

Facing the same issue now, changing to https://archives.boost.io/release worked

[netanelz-amdocs]

It redirects to a unsecured url... http://brorigin1.cpp.al/release/

Not sure it's really secured to do it.

Facing the same issue now, changing to https://archives.boost.io/release worked

[sdarwin]

https://archives.boost.io/release is an AWS Cloudfront distribution with backend servers hosting the files.

I have switched the origin to use an ALB (application load balancer) and TLS.

@netanelz-amdocs interesting comment. brorigin1 is an origin for the CDN. Usually there is a difference between a 'redirect' and an 'origin' though. The CDN should not be redirecting (such as HTTP response status code 302). Rather, it proxies the request on behalf of the client, and the client sees the main URL https://archives.boost.io . How did you observe redirects occurring?

[netanelz-amdocs]

I just put 'https://archives.boost.io/release' in the browser to ensure all the releases are there and see it's going to http://brorigin1.cpp.al/release/ which is an unsecure site. Are you saying it's ok to use it?

[sdarwin]

@netanelz-amdocs great catch! Nginx usually provides directory listings when there is a trailing slash "/". In this case "/release" was missing a slash, so nginx redirects the client to "/release/" . When the redirect happens it sends the full url that it thinks is being used: brorigin1.

I added a config parameter:

absolute_redirect off;

that should fix the problem. Clear local browser cache ...

[blackliner]

@sdarwin Thanks. I confirm that the checksum is same.

Thanks, how temporary is this? Can we rely on this for the coming future, or do you have a TTL on this?

Tried some minutes ago: In node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/boost.podspec file:

Podfile.lock was changed to:

-  boost: 57d2868c099736d80fcd648bf211b4431e51a558
+  boost: 64032b9e9b938fda23325e68a3771f0fabf414dc

Great! The temporary solution, as highlighted by others earlier, is indeed effective. Nevertheless, the challenge remains in having to apply this solution with every fresh package installation.

It seems that the patch method mentioned at https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/42180 is currently the most viable solution.

After patching node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/boost.podspec (with yarn patch) I still get an error because of mismatching checksums.

STDOUT Verification checksum was incorrect, expected f0397ba6e982c4450f27bf32a2a83292aba035b827a5623a14636ea583318c41, got 5e89103d9b70bba5c91a794126b169cb67654be2051f90cf7c22ba6893ede0ff

I'm on react-native@0.71.14 so I've replaced https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.76.0/source/boost_1_76_0.tar.bz2 with https://archives.boost.io/release/1.76.0/source/boost_1_76_0.tar.bz2

Edit: My problems were due to a bug in yarn which wouldn't apply the patch correctly after installing because we are using resolutions. In case anyone else has this problem, I was able to fix it by editing the resolutions generated by yarn following this comment: https://github.com/yarnpkg/berry/issues/4231#issuecomment-1470124509

Ok, created a simple patch for this for RN 0.73.1, but everyone could do this

1. Install patch-package:

   npm install --save-dev patch-package postinstall-postinstall

2. Modify boost.podspec:

change

#

# LICENSE file in the root directory of this source tree.

Pod::Spec.new do |spec|
  spec.name = 'boost'

  spec.summary = 'Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.'

  spec.platforms = min_supported_versions
  spec.requires_arc = false

  spec.module_name = 'boost'
  spec.header_dir = 'boost'
  spec.preserve_path = 'boost'
end

  spec.platforms = min_supported_versions
  spec.requires_arc = false

  spec.module_name = 'boost'
  spec.header_dir = 'boost'
  spec.preserve_path = 'boost'
end

3. Create a Patch:

   • Run npx patch-package react-native to create a patch file based on your changes. This command generates a patch file in a directory called patches/.

4. Apply the Patch Automatically:

   • Modify your package.json to apply the patch after installation. Add the following to your scripts section:

     "scripts": {
     "postinstall": "patch-package"
     }

   • Now, whenever you run npm install, patch-package will automatically apply the patch to the boost.podspec file.

Ignorant question perhaps, but how and why does this also work for the Android side of a RN app? (If it does)

@OmkarK45 , what is your react-native version and what boost version is defined in node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/boost.podspec?

React Native Version : 0.72.7

spec.version = '1.76.0' @olegderecha

[olegderecha]

@OmkarK45 ,

React Native Version : 0.72.7 spec.version = '1.76.0'

I suppose, you need:

• create patches/react-native+0.72.7.patch file
• place there:

  
  diff --git a/node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/boost.podspec b/node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/boost.podspec

  @@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ Pod::Spec.new do |spec|
  spec.homepage = 'http://www.boost.org'
  spec.summary = 'Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.'
  spec.authors = 'Rene Rivera'

• spec.source = { :http => 'https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.76.0/source/boost_1_76_0.tar.bz2',

• spec.source = { :http => 'https://archives.boost.io/release/1.76.0/source/boost_1_76_0.tar.bz2', :sha256 => 'f0397ba6e982c4450f27bf32a2a83292aba035b827a5623a14636ea583318c41' }

  Pinning to the same version as React.podspec.

• run npx patch-package.

Or, if you need to run it just locally, you can open node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/boost.podspec and place there:

the only difference between the one you provided and the one I have is this line index 3d9331c..bbbb738 100644

I can see boost being in installed in CI

but the error appears after this

[olegderecha]

@OmkarK45 , if you update this file node_modules/react-native/third-party-podspecs/boost.podspec and the issue still occurs, the issues is not with a patch. Try:

• rename Pods dir
  • try to install new Pods
  • try to remove Podfile.lock and pod install again.

[AndrySantos01]

If anyone hasn't been able to solve it yet, I suggest this link from a member of the react native team, I managed to solve my problem but it's a temporary solution, I'm on version 0.68.

link -> https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/42180

You were right, the issue was with cocoapods version, I installed 1.13 and the error went away

[keShraa]

If you don't want to introduce a patch with patch-package, you can simply upgrade your RN version: [Workaround Available] Error installing boost Verification checksum was incorrect. #42180

It has been fixed for React Native (0.70), 0.71, 0.72 and 0.73.

[wrldh]

Unfortunately it wasn't fixed for 0.71

[keShraa]

Unfortunately it wasn't fixed for 0.71

Hope this can help you:

They've released the fix for RN version 0.72 (0.72.9) ~40 mins ago at the time of writing this. I can only assume the fixes for 0.73, 0.71 will follow shortly

Hi i have fixed the issue of react native versionsum on boost now i have another problem on android which is

1: Task failed with an exception.

• What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':react-native-reanimated:prepareBoost'.

  Could not read appname/node_modules/react-native-reanimated/android/build/downloads/boost_1_76_0.tar.gz. Not in GZIP format

  and now i have downloaded the boost 1_76_0 on sourceforge website and added it to appname/node_modules/react-native-reanimated/android/build/downloads/boost_1_76_0.tar.gz. and now here is the error.

/node_modules/react-native/ReactCommon/cxxreact/CxxModule.h:15:10: fatal error: 'folly/dynamic.h' file not found

       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Folly is not part of Boost; it comes from Facebook. See https://github.com/facebook/folly

[riseworld27]

jfrog started working again. We can download boost file from jfrog without error now.

[arnoldc]

how it was fixed? do we have official comment from the team? im wondering if this issue would happen again

[userdocs]

how it was fixed? do we have official comment from the team? I'm wondering if this issue would happen again

At this point you wonder if the maintainers only knew it was working again from comments in issue. They have really done an absurdly impressive job of ignoring this issue and all requests for guidance or clarification on how to proceed. Full head in the sand mode.

I mean, how many time does a dev with a significant project have to professionally and politely ask this question, almost daily, without being ignored? https://github.com/boostorg/boost/issues/845#issuecomment-1880596544

This will happen again as it's been an ongoing problem for this project for too long while they insist of using these vanity projects to host the source code people need.

Your only option at this point is to factor in your own redundancy because the most realisable takeaway from this repeat issue is that

• they will ignore you when it does happen letting you figure out your own emergency solution
• they will refuse to implement any sane solutions prevent the issue being this wide. Just as it was 2-3 years ago.
• it will keep happening and they never seem to know why
• they will blame end users for downloading as the reason it's unavailable.

Another defining moment in opensource software development of how to not do something.
