One could change fetch script generated by apt-zip to use 'sha256sum' instead of 'md5sum' to check for the checksum. Here is the changed check() function inside the fetch script:
check(){ [ ! -r "$1" ] && return 1 [ "`type sha256sum`" ] && if [ "`sha256sum $1 | cut -d' ' -f1`" = "`echo $2 | cut -d':' -f2`" ] then return 0 else err $1 "wrong MD5"; return 1 fi [ "`type gzip`" ] && if ar p $1 data.tar.gz | gzip -t then return 0 else err $1 "wrong contents"; return 1 fi return $3 } I have used this to fetch the .debs for the two boxes while doing 7.10 -> 8.04 upgrade. -- apt-zip MD5 check breaks with apt SHA256 checks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203994 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
