Re: Anomaly in Fedora dnf update: md5 mismatch of result

Posted by Adrean Boyadzhiev on Aug 19

Probably a completely different root cause, but I have noticed similar
behavior with a Debian-based distribution during `# apt upgrade` and
when there are many packages for update and the internet connection is
not so good. I haven't investigated, but my assumptions were either Race
Conditions within verification logic or some logic related to the timestamp.

To my knowledge `md5` should be ok for calculating hash sums, many
prefer it...
