Hi all, hope this is on-topic for the list.
I'm getting md5 sum mismatch errors on a few RPM's I've retrieved from the icann.org mirror for CentOS 5.1. Specifically the following RPM's:
glibc-2.5.18.el5_1.1.x86_64.rpm glibc-common-2.5-18.el5_1.1.x86_64.rpm samba-3.0.25b-1.el5_1.2.x86_64.rpm
Note that the above files were copied from ICANN's rsync mirror. The glibc RPM has the following md5sum:
e3614bd667f56beb93c329aec4abd3cc glibc-2.5-18.el5_1.1.x86_64.rpm
It gives the following error when I try to isntall it:
# rpm -Uvh glibc-2.5-18.el5_1.1.x86_64.rpm --force warning: glibc-2.5-18.el5_1.1.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e8562897 Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:glibc ########################################### [100%] error: unpacking of archive failed on file /lib64/libnss_files-2.5.so;475995a5: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch
However, if I download the file from ICANN's http mirror directly:
19475c95f319da26d84e8bf9e63c9041 glibc-2.5-18.el5_1.1.x86_64.rpm
It installs fine with no complaints.
Both files have identical file sizes at 4891593. Is this likely a side-effect of an rsync error on my end? I did install the "bad" RPM above with --nomd5 and it began causing segmentation faults until I reverted to the "good" one.
I will remove the files in question and re-rsync, but as this has happened several times before I'm wondering if it's a common thing.
Thanks, Ray
