> For detecting download corruption it's quite useful. Basically all error
detecting and correcting codes are based on sending the "checksum"
together with the data.
Yes, but I doubt this checksum is meant to be used for checking for bit
errors. Even the ticket description talks about truncated files, which
would almost certainly mean that the checksum cannot be extracted. If the
spkg file can be extracted without errors, it is extremely unlikely that
it got corrupted, I think that's a good enough check.
Therefore, I would consider closing this as "wontfix".
