Hi Marcin,

Sorry for late answer. You do not say which flavor of the book you are
using (64-bit or multilib?). Looks like something gets wrong when
reading the md5 of the kernel. But using linux-6.16 is (was) only done
in multilib IIUC...

Since the md5 is not read correctly, the syntax of lines 84 and 85 in
common/libs/func_download_pkgs is wrong.

Investigating why this is so, using most recent multilib version. The
commit ref you give is in the "trunk" branch, but has been merged with
multilib on September 14th, while your message is dated September 15th.
