Error in updating some tcz's when using " tce-update "

[coreplayer2]

Ok perhaps I found a clue

Whenever I use the APPS program to download/install from the repository (which produces a failed status every time) there is an error entry in wm_errors file  which states:

" md5sum: invalid option -- 's' "

running md5 check within APPS results in " OK "

Maybe this is why we don't see errors when using the command line " ab "

However  " tce-load -wi "  often results in md5 file not found

OK, that sounds like something is calling GNU md5sum when busybox md5sum is expected.

I have updated and posted Xprogs.tcz. Apps GUI now specifically calls busybox md5sum.

THANKS roberts & curaga

the fix is much appreciated      Am guessing coreutils might have started this ball rolling..?

Thanks again

I'm now able to update a single extension 

..but strange things still happen - see attached (booted "norestore")

Edit: No errors reported when running "apps" from a terminal and "tce-update query" produces the same strangeness, whilst /tmp/tce-update-err.lst is empty

That is ANSI color codes typically used for Xterm/console display.
Nothing to be concerned about. I will find and remove them.

updated to 4.5.6 and latest Xprogs, but still seeing strange effects - see attached (babl doesn't have any deps)
