Good day.
I have downloaded a package from debian repo with my http browser. Now, how I
can check its integrity, that an evil doer did not modify it some malicious way
while the transfer?
Use "apt-cache show" to find the file's nominal hash, then run
sha1sum to gen the real hash. If they match, it wasn't corrupted en
route.
(I'd worry more, though, about the repository machine getting hacked
and the descriptions getting modified.)
