Let's see what an older Debian perceives (... downloading 3.7 GiB lasts a
while ...):

  $ sha256sum -c slint64-15.0-2.iso.sha256
  slint64-15.0-2.iso: OK

Various checksums:

  $ sha256sum slint64-15.0-2.iso
  cc0421fdd9630d3bb3ea8ef338c7cfb7a29fd8df98ccbae3debed60847a976a3  slint64-15.0-2.iso
  $ sha512sum slint64-15.0-2.iso
  faf3210c680caeb5875651989aeb2841b4a0733a618b8d13e5163ebf5c16046d82d4ee645d471664604eeb164e0bd7b919f64e4798167f48a6ed2e935d06d6a4  slint64-15.0-2.iso
  $ md5sum slint64-15.0-2.iso
  f00a3d3bf641309feac4b1aa9abacf4f  slint64-15.0-2.iso
  $ crc32 slint64-15.0-2.iso
  3ed8c08a
  $

I don't think that somebody fiddled with pickles like md5sum or crc32.
So only if sha256sum says mismatch and md5sum says match, then i would
suspect that sha256sum is broken.


Have a nice day :)
