So out of curiosity I installed a few successively older releases to test.
Running 7.2 I am able to tar up /usr/lib, extract from tape, and all of the md5’s matched. 8.3 was close, the tar extract completed - however a handful of files had differing md5’s. Should I open a bug on this ? I’m happy to try to troubleshoot if there’s value in figuring this out. Thanks.
