  • Potential irroneous checksum in InRelease file

    From john doe@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 12 14:50:01 2025
    Hi,

    Is it intentional that the checksum for [1] is not in [2]?

    [1] http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/gtk/netboot.tar.gz
    [2] http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/InRelease

    Should have been http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-amd64/current/images/SHA256SUMS

    [2] http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/InRelease


    Rewording, just to ensure that I'm clear enough (sorry about that)!

    The checksum of SHA256SUMS is not to be found in the InRelease file.

    Small shell script to show what I'm trying to say:

    #!/bin/sh

    checksum_of_checksum_file=$(sha256sum SHA256SUMS) checksum_in_release_file=$(awk -v checksum=$checksum '/main\/installer-amd64\/current\/images\/SHA256SUMS/' InRelease)

    echo $checksum_of_checksum_file $checksum_in_release_file
