Sysinstall doesn't verify checksums in transit (though that would be a cool feature). It's really a mystery as to why this is happening, unless something's broken in libfetch, since sysinstall didn't change with respect to this and every indication is that the code should Just Work(tm). If I ever get some time, I'll build a local release here and test-install it to see if I can instrument the problem at all. - Jordan > Yep, Im getting it on the snapshots I buld myself. > > See the thread "Unable to transfer the bin distribution ..." from > Thursday. > > There are some older ones there as well.
