This is pretty simple. For some reason, catalyst is eating a space. poseidon 2006.1 # cat bittorrent/amd64/livedvd/livedvd-amd64-installer-2006.1.iso.DIGESTS # MD5 HASH 4e09d8f9702a098393d24bdee55b6ae5 livedvd-amd64-installer-2006.1.iso # SHA1 HASH 006b200b3d545a7e09065188c378b7e4e830486f livedvd-amd64-installer-2006.1.iso poseidon 2006.1 # shash -a MD5 bittorrent/amd64/livedvd/livedvd-amd64-installer-2006.1.iso # MD5 HASH 4e09d8f9702a098393d24bdee55b6ae5 bittorrent/amd64/livedvd/livedvd-amd64-installer-2006.1.iso As you can see, this breaks sha1sum/md5sum, but continues to work w/ shash. Of course, this could be also considered a bug in coreutils, since it really should be tolerant of whitespace. Anyway, this isn't vital just yet, as I'm just going to overwrite all of the .DIGESTS for the release, but I'd like to get this fixed for the future.
Fixed in CVS...
Fixed in 2.0.1
