Since 9pm PDT last night (9/26/17) the md5sums have been failing on
some packages downloaded via the wgetlist provided via the Version
8.1-systemd Chapter 3.1 LFS manual.

This issue is ongoing as of 9:56am PDT 9/27/2017.

Some packages are irretrievable.
expat-2.2.3.tar.bz2
expect5.45.tar.gz


Some packages pass.

Some packages that are retrievable don't pass namely:
md5sum: WARNING: 5 computed checksums did NOT match
e2fsprogs-1.43.5.tar.gz: FAILED from sourceforge
procps-ng-3.3.12.tar.xz: FAILED from sourceforge
psmisc-23.1.tar.xz: FAILED from sourceforge
tcl-core8.6.7-src.tar.gz: FAILED from sourceforge
xz-5.2.3.tar.xz: FAILED from tukaani.org


sourceforge was 404 for awhile when I first discovered this last night.

I wonder if we can trust the ones that do pass currently? At any rate,
anyone with an interest in security might want to notify responsible parties...

I am able to get the correct sums using the packages from other sources, fyi.

Best,

KJM
