upgrade problem and crc32 check

Hi,

First, thanks to the SMF team for the forum.

I use it for many years now and I was always able to apply the patches (like 1.1.12->1.1.13, 1.1.13->1.1.14, 1.1.14->1.1.15) flawlessly.
However with 1.1.15->1.1.16 I ran into 'Er zijn geen installatie-acties gedefinieerd!', dutch language which corresponds with variable package45 'The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.';

After some debugging I found out that it has to to with a php crc32 check.
If I comment out the two lines in Sources/Subs-Package.php

Code Select Expand


if ($crc['crc32'] != smf_crc32($data))
return false;


I'am invited (by the SMF software :-) to apply the patches.

At this moment I did not look for the reason why this check was needed. I guess something like an internal check about the integrity of the patch software.
I did check that the patch source is coming from http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/downloads/smf_patch_1.0.22_1.1.16.tar.gz

Can anybody fix this, so we all could use the friendly fun to use Package Manager again ?

best wishes for 2012 to the SMF community.
