Dear Skolelinux community, we attempted to upgrade a Skolelinx server from Squeeze to Wheezy
(and planned to progress to Jessie later on, of course) and run
into the following issue. As an example, I'd like to pick the
"slbackup" package: Only the SHA512 value matches the one we calculated locally, MD5,
SHA1 and SHA256 are screwed. There is an indication that there might be somewhere something
broken with string manipulation as e.g. the MD5 sums we got match
a substring of the one given on the project web page. This gets
more obvious if written like this: 7e72a33d 83d3185abe66278c1b01b67e ........ 83d3185abe66278c1b01b67e 98d69f57 I picked a few more Skolelinux Wheezy packages and all of them
showed the same issue with the hashes. I suspect that there is a
bug in the packaging tool chain the project team might not be
aware of. Some questions arise for me: * Is that issue already known? * if so, are there any solutions proposed? * is this the right place to ask and if not, who else should I ask? Thank you all in advance and best regards Peter Dreuw -- Peter Dreuw Berater Tel.: +49 2166 9901-155 Fax: +49 2166 9901-100 E-Mail: Peter.Dreuw@credativ.de gpg fingerprint: 33B0 82D3 D103 B594 E7D3 53C7 FBB6 3BD0 DB32 ED41 http://www.credativ.de/ credativ GmbH, HRB Mönchengladbach 12080 USt-ID-Nummer: DE204566209 Trompeterallee 108, 41189 Mönchengladbach Geschäftsführung: Dr. Michael Meskes, Jörg Folz, Sascha Heuer |
