Thread: md5 checksum mismatch
I've downloaded several versions of postgresql from several mirrors. On none of them did the md5 checksums from http://www.gtsm.com/postgres_sigs.html match the md5 checksum from the postgresql-*.tar.gz source file I downloaded. I can't imagine that all these file are corrupted, yet I don't see what I could be doing wrong. Has anyone actually done this process successfully? Could you let me know which version and which mirror?

Just tested one: ftp://ftp2.uk.postgresql.org/sites/ftp.postgresql.org/src/7.4.6/postgresql-7.4.6.tar.bz2 Does indeed have MD5 checksum of f0ea2b372a7bdaf2613e92176ebf5e0f This matches what's in the .md5 file and is listed on Greg's page. Note that you can't use md5sum --check <file>.md5 but manually comparing the sums all seems OK. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd

As a follow-up to my last message, "md5sum --check" does work, you just need to use one that was built in the last couple of years. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd
