Then you're mixing up different things I guess. When the gpg verification passes, then it means that the file *is* intact, and that you didn't download another file the next time. The problem during installation is not related to a broken download, but is a different problem. The bug doesn't give much hint as what is wrong, since especially: > However when I created a SHA1 (using GPG4Win) of a newly downloaded > installer (which works correctly) it doesn't match the corrupted file (as > expected, obviously) Is strange. Maybe you downloaded one file, and verified the other? Or the file was truncated/damaged after you did verify it. > My point here is: if GPG verification does not guarantee file integrity can > TDF provide a Checksum (SHA1 or MD5) with the Pre-release files? The gpg signature does both verify the integrity as well as the origin of the file. My guess is that you misinterpreted whatever message gpg did print when verifying. (Like reporting the meaning - "Sorry, the file is a signature with the key AFEEAEA3, but I don't know the public key, so I cannot check whether the signature is correct") Verifying a signature also includes verifying the file's contents/checksum. No different thatn SHA1. So I hope you still have both copies of the file and can carefully compare the gpg outputs of both. ciao Christian _______________________________________________ List Name: Libreoffice-qa mailing list Mail address: Libreoffice-qa@lists.freedesktop.org Change settings: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-qa Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-qa/
