[Solved] AOO 4.1.9 file hashes for MacOS do not match

Post by mep »

1) The exact file name of the downloaded installation file.
Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.9_MacOS_x86-64_install_en-US.dmg

2) The value of the downloaded signature/hash file.
sha256 from download page: e6dfeee8c9c3efde129e644da115186cc81595b0d074d2c438deaaa2bbed0e1d
sha512 from download page: d5f1ec837e6d69638d78e92436b23476fe8be761eff433258dac50e71ea800469683ce7096b60c54b344c83ebc12004e3a9c559135480935bdaefc2ae553b87b

3) The processed signature/hash from your computer.
sha256 computed locally: 332132fa734020b048d677f615fd648a4437bc484612866394a5b045f56f2c41
sha512 computed locally: f4d278a3a659d5a0b5b0aa0d689e31b1f476e9627a0c2a77d9344a958c76a8bd644f7ff5ed218000eb6c214bbd4f0b25387392dc2d44e39e1e81fe856df6696a

4) The exact size of the installation file in byte.
176823470

5) Have you used a proxy server (yes/no)?
No

6) The exact URL from the server from where the files was downloaded.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/openof ... g/download

NOTES:
1) This is on MacOS 10.15.7; I don't have GPG, so can't check those signatures.

2) AOO 4.1.8 download hashes match hashes on d/l page
d/l file: Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.8_MacOS_x86-64_install_en-US.dmg
from https://sourceforge.net/projects/openof ... g/download).

3) I also downloaded the Debian tarball to same MacOS machine and hashes match

It is sufficient to check either SHA256 or SHA512. No need to check both. No need to check GPG.

If this solved your problem please go to your first post use the Edit button and add [Solved] to the start of the subject field. Select the green checkmark icon at the same time.

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, it doesn't solve the problem.

When I click the "Download full installation" button at http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html, it launches a download link at https://sourceforge.net/projects/openof ... g/download. So I think I'm downloading the file that you say I should be. The hashes of the file I download do not match the hashes linked on the download page at http://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html

I know that computing any one of the values or checking GPG signature is sufficient to check file integrity. I was following the instructions at https://www.openoffice.org/download/che ... l#no_match to report that the values do not match.

I have private communication from someone else on users@openoffice.apache.org confirming that hashes do not match.

To be absolutely clear,
https://downloads.apache.org/openoffice ... dmg.sha256
gives me this:
e6dfeee8c9c3efde129e644da115186cc81595b0d074d2c438deaaa2bbed0e1d *Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.9_MacOS_x86-64_install_en-US.dmg

which does not match what I compute:
