It's possible this doesn't affect Ubuntu but there were/are tools in Debian written before apt-secure that only used MD5Sum when present. Removing that, they just don't do any validation.
I would not want this to be global, the fields disappearing suddenly in focal-updates etc would be awkward; I'd like to see this trialed in mantic+1 and proposed pockets first. So that we can see which tools break and fix them before users see it. -- https://code.launchpad.net/~xnox/launchpad/+git/launchpad/+merge/452749 Your team Launchpad code reviewers is requested to review the proposed merge of ~xnox/launchpad:only-sha256 into launchpad:master. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-reviewers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-reviewers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
