10.1 tce-update issue; mismatched md5 sums

[lhaley42]

Today I sought to update the installed tcz packages.  Doing so yielded a Fail result for each package attempted.  Editing the tce-audit script, I was able to decide the failing was in the comparison of the package's md5.db line and the md5sum of the newly fetched package itself.

Is there a lag time between which a tcz is updated and posted, and the posting of an updated md5.db.gz?
I tried a different mirror ;  I didn't exactly follow the tce-fetch script to know if the md5.db.gz is retrieved from a mirror, or if it comes from only the central (i assume central) http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/ site).

Thanks for your consideration,
Lexi

For what it's worth - I am unable yet to update tcz packages (having formerly been able to do so).
Example - apr.tcz

if I perform similar commands to what tce-update does:

tc@box:~/tmp$ tce-fetch.sh md5.db.gz
tc@box:~/tmp$ tce-fetch.sh apr.tcz
tc@box:~/tmp$ gunzip md5.db.gz 
tc@box:~/tmp$ grep apr.tcz md5.db 
6695bd1113fdee379d8016b791dfd762  apr.tcz
tc@box:~/tmp$ md5sum apr.tcz 
103e97820777d4313b12d837f48aca44  apr.tcz

well, as you can see, the md5sums are different...
Is anyone having similar issues?

Thanks,
Lexi

Yes, there seems to be a problem with the md5sums for the latest batch of updates to the x86_64 repo - I'll check with the maintainer.

Thank you!

Things should work OK now.
