I noticed I was missing the "shasum" command in /usr/bin, and was told to
install the package perl-Digest-SHA.
However: The Cygwin setup program displays this message if I select this
package:
Problem 1/1, nothing provides perl5_032 needed by perl-Digest-SHA-6.04-1,
Solution 1/1, default, - do not ask to install perl-Digest-SHA-6.04-1
Looks like the dependency tree for this package is broken?
Note that the sha1sum program worth using is built from source in GNU
coreutils, not the perl script trying to immitate it.
I don't know how to check which Cygwin package contains which file, so
I cannot be sure if /usr/bin/sha1sum.exe is installed by the main
coreutils package or some extra package.
If you are looking for the recalled SHA-0 algorithm (it was recalled
when it was brand new), I don't know if it is still available as an
"shasum" program.
Enjoy
