Dear Gromacs Developers,

I'm trying to install the 2018.8 version of GROMACS through the Spack
package manager (https://spack.io). They have packaged GROMACS, but I
have noticed a SHA256 checksum mismatch. They have
'3776923415df4bc78869d7f387c834141fdcda930b2e75be979dc59ecfa6ebec' on
file, while the file I have downloaded from your site directly (and
verified by the md5sum available there) has
'776923415df4bc78869d7f387c834141fdcda930b2e75be979dc59ecfa6ebecf'.
Although I strongly doubt that any attacker could come up with a
counterfeit package having a checksum so very close to the original one,
and suspect that this is simply a typo from the Spack package
maintainers, I would like to ask your opinion about this, just to be on
the safe side (avoiding accidental malware infections like what happened
previously https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/issues/33536).

Thank you and kind regards,

Andras
