[Gnu-arch-users] Invalid checksum file syntax

[Aidan Delaney]

Hi all,
        I've recently been trying to relearn tla and have run into this problem
with two projects in the same archive.

address@hidden xmlrpcd $ cat /home/balor/\{archive\}/.archive-version
Hackerlab arch archive directory, format version 2.

No doubt the solution is simple, but google doesn't have the answer. 
The error message is

address@hidden xmlrpcd $ tla get xmlrpcd--mainline--0.1

********************************
 
INVALID CHECKSUM FILE SYNTAX FOR REVISION!
  archive: address@hidden
  revision xmlrpcd--mainline--0.1--base-0
  checksum file: checksum
 
********************************

The version of tla I imported the project with is

address@hidden xmlrpcd $ tla --version
tla 
address@hidden/dists--devo--1.0--patch-8(configs/emf.net-tla/devo.tla-1.2pre3)

./src/hackerlab address@hidden/hackerlab--devo--1.0--patch-37
./src/tla       address@hidden/tla--devo--1.2--patch-112
 

I've also installed a later version of tla, but get the same problem.


address@hidden xmlrpcd $ tla --version

./src/hackerlab address@hidden/hackerlab--devo--1.0--patch-37
./src/tla       address@hidden/tla--devo--1.2--patch-115
 
Finally, the question.  Why is there invalid syntax in my checksum file
(the checksums match, I've verified by hand)?  How can I fix stuff to
stop this happening and check out my source?
