Using md5sum
If you are not able to use an old version of GnuPG, you have
to verify the MD5 checksum. Assuming you downloaded the file
gnupg-1.2.6.tar.bz2, you would run the
md5sum command like this:
md5sum gnupg-1.2.6.tar.bz2
and check that the output matches the MD5 checksum reported on
this site. An example of md5sum checksum is:
b1890f5dfacd2ba7ab15448c5ff08a4e gnupg-1.2.6.tar.bz2
If a SHA-1 checksum has been listed for the package and the
command sha1sum is available on your system, you should
prefer the SHA-1 checksum over MD5. Both commands are similar;
sha1sum just uses a different algorithm and prints
8 more characters.
