Agreed. Looking at our current error messages, “in file” is conventionally
followed by the filename. I do however think “calculated” is better than
“expected” since it conveys clearly that the compared checksum is calculated by
pg_verify_checksum and not read from somewhere.
How about something like this?
_(“%s: checksum mismatch in file \”%s\”, block %d: calculated %X, found %X”),
progname, fn, blockno, csum, header->pd_checksum);
