hey everyone!! i downloaded the desktop_1.46.5_amd64.deb package from the delta website and github site and compared both to the checksum but the sum does not match. this is the first time i’ve seen this happen. i got the checksum from the package by the terminal with sha256sum and this has always worked for me. can anyone replicate this and/or inform me what i’m doing wrong? any help is great!! thanks.
I downloaded both https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop/releases/download/v1.46.5/deltachat-desktop_1.46.5_amd64.deb and https://download.delta.chat/desktop/v1.46.5/deltachat-desktop_1.46.5_amd64.deb
They have the same checksum:
a9da1cdbe46cddf980d7778ac46bd4ee4106f49e deltachat-desktop_1.46.5_amd64.deb
a9da1cdbe46cddf980d7778ac46bd4ee4106f49e deltachat-desktop_1.46.5_amd64_github.deb
This is the same sum as in the file checksums on GitHub as well. Note that it is as sha1sum, not sha256 checksum file.
Files are completely identical, compared with cmp.

Thanks! I get the same when sha1 is used vs sha256. i assumed it was sha256 because i didn’t see a description of what checksum was used. how did you know it was sha1?
Just tried different one, also looked at the length.
Got it…thanks!
