   > That is weird that they changed the RPM but didn't bump the version 
number. Very strange. However, it does look like the RPM itself has a valid GPG 
signature, though I do not know what InfluxDB's official GPG key is to verify 
the trust chain. This new SHA512 is correct, though, for what's currently there 
as the 1.8.3 RPM.
   
   Yeah, it does seem strange. I've sent the below email to 
[email protected]. For now, I'll go-ahead and merge this change. Thanks

   Hello,
   I've been using the stable Influxdb v1.8.3 from the repository. Recently, 
when downloading "influxdb-1.8.3.x86_64.rpm" using the Ansible yum module, it 
failed due to a mismatch in the checksum. I then noticed the RPM has been 
modified on 12 Nov 2020. This seems strange, I'd thought existing stable 
versions once created won't be modified and any changes will result in a new 
version of influxdb thereby producing a new checksum. 
   Fortunately, I had a copy of the original RPM file which I did a cksum (1). 
Comparing this to the updated RPM (2), I see the file size remains the 
same(64097226). Do you know if anything actually changed in the updated RPM 
that has produced a different checksum?
    
   1)
   $ cksum influxdb-1.8.3.x86_64.rpm 
   281633092 64097226 influxdb-1.8.3.x86_64.rpm
   
   2)
   $ cksum new/influxdb-1.8.3.x86_64.rpm 
   2130743016 64097226 new/influxdb-1.8.3.x86_64.rpm
   
   Thanks,
   Karthick
