Looking closer at what the mentioned patch introduced: ~~~~ - local sum="$(${integ}sum "$file" | cut -d ' ' -f 1)" + local sum="$(openssl dgst -${integ} "$file" | awk '{print $NF}')" ~~~~ I'm proposing not to get back to what it has been (which assumed that there was a md5sum sha128sum, <something-else>sum), but I'm proposing that for md5 we should use md5sum, which I'm sure it exists on any UNIX. Or better even, try to see if openssl exists, if not falling back to md5sum, at least for md5sums...
As a side note, it doesn't exist on all UNIX-y systems, for example on Mac OS X- there is a /sbin/md5, but not an md5sum command. -Dan
