I just finished downloading the latest slackware-9.0 from
distro.ibiblio.org via rsync and a bunch of .asc files (the gpg
detached signatures end in .asc), 39 of them to be exact, in the
patches directory failed the md5sum check.

What's really odd is that those same .asc files, when checked with gpg
--verify, turn out to be valid signatures.

I am guessing that the CHECKSUMS.md5 file was not updated to reflect
the new signatures in that directory (mostly in
slackware/patches/kde).

Has anyone else ever run into this problem?
