Probably a completely different root cause, but I have noticed similar
behavior with a Debian-based distribution during `# apt upgrade` and
when there are many packages for update and the internet connection is
not so good. I haven’t investigated, but my assumptions were either Race
Conditions within verification logic or some logic related to the timestamp.
To my knowledge `md5` should be ok for calculating hash sums, many
prefer it…
