Thank you for your help.  :-)


I ran more some more tests:

2009-04-12 08:13:07 dpchrist@p43400e /cygdrive/h/data/iso/debian
$ md5sum debian-live-500-i386-rescue.iso
b02c3606a3f35f160a591fe1154aa362 *debian-live-500-i386-rescue.iso

2009-04-12 08:13:39 dpchrist@p43400e /cygdrive/h/data/iso/debian
$ grep 'rescue.iso$' MD5SUMS
b02c3606a3f35f160a591fe1154aa362  debian-live-500-i386-rescue.iso

2009-04-12 08:42:26 dpchrist@p43400e /cygdrive/h/data/iso/debian
$ md5sum -c MD5SUMS 2>&1 | grep 'rescue\.iso'
debian-live-500-i386-rescue.iso: FAILED
debian-live-500-i386-rescue.iso.list: OK
debian-live-500-i386-rescue.iso.log: OK
debian-live-500-i386-rescue.iso.packages: OK

md5sum computes the same checksum as what is contained in MD5SUMS, but
prepends an asterisk to the filename on output.  So, the *.iso file is
okay, but "md5sum -c MD5SUMS" is somehow broken (?).


Attempting to force binary mode:

2009-04-12 08:43:47 dpchrist@p43400e /cygdrive/h/data/iso/debian
$ md5sum -b -c MD5SUMS
md5sum: the --binary and --text options are meaningless when verifying
checksums

Try `md5sum --help' for more information.


Nope.  Perhaps there is something wrong with my Cygwin (?) and/or md5sum
(?).  Updating and trying again:

2009-04-12 13:44:25 dpchrist@p43400e /cygdrive/h/data/iso/debian
$ md5sum debian-live-500-i386-rescue.iso
b02c3606a3f35f160a591fe1154aa362 *debian-live-500-i386-rescue.iso

2009-04-12 13:45:09 dpchrist@p43400e /cygdrive/h/data/iso/debian
$ grep 'rescue.iso$' MD5SUMS
b02c3606a3f35f160a591fe1154aa362  debian-live-500-i386-rescue.iso

2009-04-12 13:45:41 dpchrist@p43400e /cygdrive/h/data/iso/debian
$ md5sum -c MD5SUMS 2>&1 | grep 'rescue\.iso'
debian-live-500-i386-rescue.iso: FAILED
debian-live-500-i386-rescue.iso.list: OK
debian-live-500-i386-rescue.iso.log: OK
debian-live-500-i386-rescue.iso.packages: OK


Nope.  cygcheck.out attached.


Any suggestions?


TIA,

David
