sha256sum listed 2x for 2 different files vbox downloads

Hi guys-

Does anyone on the forum have the power to fix:

Code: Select all

*Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.34-150636.vbox-extpack
d7856f0688b6d2ed1e8bff0b367efa952068b03fa5a3a29b46db08cfd5d9a810

Code: Select all

*Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.34.vbox-extpack
d7856f0688b6d2ed1e8bff0b367efa952068b03fa5a3a29b46db08cfd5d9a810

It's in there in the windows host download page twice. I think it is a mistake but just want to be sure.

thanks, roboloki

I see the double listing in https://www.virtualbox.org/download/has ... SHA256SUMS. Could be because it's the same file, so the hashes should be the same.

The Extension Pack file downloaded from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads is called :

Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.34.vbox-extpack

which matches the second line in the hash list. I am not certain, but it could be that a different download source has the first line's name, maybe through a Linux repository.

The Extension Pack is always only one file for all hosts. Having the same file under both names may help when the file downloads under either name and gets hashed by an automatic checker.

Hi -
I have an update. I was at this site:
https://www.oracle.com/virtualization/t ... .html#vbox

when i downloaded the file listed below in the code block with this version (notice ellipsis) :
...6.1.34-150636.vbox-extpack

It gave a different checksum.

Code: Select all

$ shasum Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.34-150636.vbox-extpack
e361c910f73dbac7196ff80cdd2ea1f3b8c11f38 *Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.34-150636.vbox-extpack

The website you are at:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads gives the checksum listed:

Code: Select all

$ sha256sum Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.34.vbox-extpack
d7856f0688b6d2ed1e8bff0b367efa952068b03fa5a3a29b46db08cfd5d9a810 *Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.34.vbox-extpack

I'm still not entirely sure but thanks for checking it out.

thanks,

HI guys-

I was at mysql community and I got some funny results too...

Code: Select all

gpg --verify mysql-installer-community-8.0.29.0.msi.asc
gpg: no signed data
gpg: can't hash datafile: No data

Code: Select all

gpg --output mysql-installer-community-8.0.29.0.msi mysql-installer-community-8.0.29.0.msi.asc
gpg: WARNING: no command supplied.  Trying to guess what you mean ...
gpg: assuming signed data in 'mysql-installer-community-8.0.29.0.msi'
gpg: Signature made Wed Apr  6 11:04:17 2022 EDT

I might be doing things wrong. I don't know.
