Well, at least, it was the same hash! ;-)

s Peter explained, that's because Github started acting silly a few days
ago... So we decided to take this opportunity to add as much hashes as
possible.

I did a script that would look for packages without hashes, and it
turned out that this script had a flaw: when a package was in a
sub-sub-directory like gstreamer and gstreamer1, the script would
mistakenly conclude that a hash was missing for that package, which was
wrong of course.

Fortunately, Peter noticed, but he was not careful enough (not that I
would blame him, drowned in the ~120 patches I sent!).

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
