Package: mirrors Hi,
I don't really know where to file that; please reassign if I'm wrong. I recently downloaded the debian-installer netboot archive at http://debian.univ-nantes.fr/debian/dists/wheezy/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/gtk/netboot.tar.gz which is the GTK version of the netboot installer (this bug doesn't affect the text version). I noticed, after unpacking it and checking for the sums, hoping that they will be the same as if I downloaded all the files individually, that they all validate except one: the initrd.gz for this installer. (I checked the sum of the .tar.gz itself, and it's OK). The sums are, e.g., here: http://debian.univ-nantes.fr/debian/dists/wheezy/main/installer-amd64/current/images/SHA256SUMS When getting directly the initrd.gz from http://debian.univ-nantes.fr/debian/dists/wheezy/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/gtk/debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz I correctly get f8971317915ed2ce8358b24ca88ea95c75ebe97a1e0a95f60c7977da368b3352 But when extracting it from the archive, I get c2103b9533baa88814e770b493e5ba93f3043f3d73ce6e018addcd7c84b22cd4 By looking closer, the uncompressed initrd from both files is the same. Only the date (from the gzip header) differs by a couple of seconds. And this only happens for the GTK installer, not the text one, once again… Furthermore, I also realized that Ubuntu is affected, too (!); the sum for the GTK installer of Precise Pangolin has the same problem. There must be a small packaging bug somewhere… Regards, -- Benjamin Cama <benjamin.c...@telecom-bretagne.eu> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
