Comment 18 for bug 159371

The md5sum that's been included doesn't seem to match the one on my hardy system. I see the following:

$ awk 'NR > 2' /etc/motd | md5sum | awk '{print $1}'
b96a46f1f55c293787c096d1e5f5ce31
$

As a result, the package fails to upgrade the motd when I install it, because it assumes the motd has been locally modified (which, TTBOMK, it hasn't been).

I guess the checksum you included is for the *new* motd, which doesn't help us with upgrades?

I think the correct line to add to share/motd.md5sums is this:

 b96a46f1f55c293787c096d1e5f5ce31 8.04 hardy Linux

can you confirm?
