MD5 files for e zip release are malformed

  • /e/ version: all
  • Device model(s): all
  • Device rooted: n/a

Summary

On Linux (Mint 21 cinnamon, but should be the same for any distro):

When downloading an e zip file of any release, md5sum -c nameofrelease.zip.md5sum fail

This happen because the .md5sum file contain an absolute path and should contain a only the checksum space nameofrelease.zip

The problem

Steps to reproduce Download any e zip + md5sum file in the same folder Run: md5sum -c nameofrelease.zip.md5sum

What is the current behavior? md5sum is unable to calculate the zip checksum and compare it to the .md5sum file

What is the expected correct behavior? You should see a success message

Relevant screenshots None

Solutions

Workaround Run: md5sum nameofrelease.zip cat nameofrelease.zip.md5sum Compare manually the checksums

Possible fixes cd to the location of the zip file Then run:

md5sum nameofrelease.zip>nameofrelease.zip.md5sum
