installation failed on Ubuntu 25.10

HI, Trying to install QCAD on a new Ubuntu 25.10 machine gives me this error:
zarg@zarg-Dell-G15-5530:~/Scaricati$ ./qcad-3.32.4-pro-linux-qt5.14-x86_64.run
Verifying archive integrity...Error in MD5 checksums: fe5d865b0953e88fb5c02b67d3e76eab is different from ea27b64d4038b49c46d4fc0fa098bdfd

Does anyone know why? I tested it on other PCs with Ubuntu 25.04 installed, and this does not happen.

Hi,

If the checksum of the downloaded package fails ... Have you tried to re-download the package?

Regards,

Yes, I did... many many times

Please check the MD5 checksum of the downloaded file:

$ md5sum qcad-3.32.4-pro-linux-qt5.14-x86_64.run
6f736d7a86c0c71ae03f133728670708 qcad-3.32.4-pro-linux-qt5.14-x86_64.run

If it doesn't match, your browser likely gives you the same cached file over and over again without redownloading. Clearing the browser cache should fix that.

So I tried ...
change browser ... failed
clear browser cache ...- failed
download, installed on different pc just to test it out, saved on USB and copy on ubuntu 25.10 ... failed

ciao

Same problem here, version 3.32.4, MD5 checksum failed while executing the installer on Ubuntu 25.10

Assuming this has something to do with the new rust-coreutils in Ubuntu 25.10. It wreaks havoc on a lot of makeself created installation scripts.

A new rust-coreutils was recently released and supposedly the issue was fixed, but I am still getting this error after the update.
There is probably still a bug in the installation script that makes it behave differently with the new coreutils.

If Ubuntu keeps using rust-coreutils in their next LTS release, this issue will get a lot more attention.

As a workaround you can restore the old gnu coreutils.

grtz,
