7 years ago Well, I think this is a false alarm due to a corrupted file on the master mirror. That initial "8B" certainly looks suspicious given the error message thrown by mb...
$ pwd
/mirrors/ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-14.0/source/a/lilo
$ less lilo-23.2.tar.gz.asc
"lilo-23.2.tar.gz.asc" may be a binary file. See it anyway?
^8B>^H^@^@^@^@^@^@^Cmι^N<820^@80><E1><BD>O<D1>Qc^@94j<E2P
This only happens with this one file - if I skip that file using a regex match (-i flag) then the makehash operation completes successfully). I can of course skip this file without much consequence, but I'd like to find out why it's happening and how to prevent it in case other files trigger it later.
The "0" printed at the end of the line is from me uncommenting the "print len(self.zsums)" line in hashes.py
