MD5 comparison fails in package-get

Well, evidently it's not my stupidity. It wasn't the call to Simply changing the call to `insert-file-contents-internal' to `insert-file-contents-literally' did the trick. I'm not going to submit a patch yet because I simply do not understand what the heck is going on. There is _all_ kinds of evil lurking in those functions. Not to mention confusing comments like "whatever happened to i-f-c-literally?" (in package-get.el), which makes no sense, as AFAIK it never went AWOL. I suspect that the `package-get-maybe-save-index' code could also be vulnerable to coding system silliness if the archive host and the local host have different line-ending conventions. Upgrading all my packages was a bad idea though, as I got hosed by the mule-base 1.32 bug. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ What are those two straight lines for?
