That is weird. I've just checked across a bunch of CentOS4.2 systems and they all display the same behaviour, i.e. different md5sums. [wmcdonald@willspc tmp]$ md5sum local.cp webdev1.cp d5a727482a4fa3c0a0057233ff4e166f local.cp faf79484269dd8c3ea6d06914f0bf479 webdev1.cp I copied and "string"ed two copies of cp and the string differences were minimal... [wmcdonald@willspc tmp]$ diff localcp.strings webdev1cp.strings 2,4d1 < N OC < @ OC,;/D < @ OC Yet the initial md5sum in rpm -q --dump appears identical... [wmcdonald@willspc tmp]$ rpm -q --dump coreutils | grep /bin/cp /bin/cp 55920 1124790615 4d5e0ec0bbe25886c9dcb45b879382e3 0100755 root root 0 0 0 X [wmcdonald@willspc tmp]$ ssh webdev1 "rpm -q --dump coreutils | grep /bin/cp" /bin/cp 55920 1124790615 4d5e0ec0bbe25886c9dcb45b879382e3 0100755 root root 0 0 0 X And yet the coreutils package successfully passes rpm's verify.
