changed package

Post by timtaylor »

Hello,

it seems that there were some rpm-packages changed.
For me it's specially Fedora10 x86.

Code: Select all

#  rpm -v --checksig VirtualBox-2.1.2_41885_fedora9-1.i386.rpm
VirtualBox-2.1.2_41885_fedora9-1.i386.rpm:
    SHA1-Kurzfassung des Headers:  OK (db017c3bb3fff0b0c1078bf5f52ff9819dbe10e6)
    MD5-Kurzfassung:  OK (480474f77dbab7550917c39189039f7b)

#  rpm -v --checksig /home/mt/Downloads/VirtualBox-2.1.2_41885_fedora9-1.i386.rpm/home/mt/Downloads/VirtualBox-2.1.2_41885_fedora9-1.i386.rpm:
    SHA1-Kurzfassung des Headers:  OK (fc52f4e945bbda2fbbdbbcaa639cdcb0ca1105c6)
    MD5-Kurzfassung:  OK (cd619056b8f9ae4725f406d717313f17)

Are the files on different locations and downloaded at different times? if so, then it might be that there is a silent update for the RPM installer because of all the 'Access Denied' errors that are shown on the forum.

Hello,

yes. The first rpm is from the release-day and the 2nd is from today.
It could be possible that it is an silent update. it's not really nice way to change things at hte current release. They could it make visible with the bildnumber like ....-2 or something else.

Thanks for your answer. :D
