In this case, a close examination would show that the base sets were updated in the minute before the X sets were updated. It's likely that what occurred was the updates to the SHA256 file overlapped, resulting in the checksums for the new base sets were overwritten with the checksums for the previous base sets. <shrug> > Also, I wondered if there was a way to have the installer/upgrader ask you > whether or not you want to continue if it encounters an incorrect shasum? > By default it just carries on regardless. That would involve downloading all the sets before installing any of them, as you don't want to mix sets. Where do you put them before then? It's probably doable, but working out the details would be a chunk of work for someone. Worth it? Not to me... Philip Guenther
