1.0 Known problems and workarounds

1.1 MD5 errors when Apache configuration file contains AddHandler imap-file map

The string ".map." in a filename can cause the Apache web server to perform a translation on the file contents before sending to the client.
For example, in Apache 2.2, this can happen by adding the line:
    AddHandler imap-file map
into an .htaccess file in a directory served. The default configuration for some Apache installations is for AddHandler to be applied generally. 

Workaround: Comment out the "AddHandler imap-file map" line in the configuration files that affect the repositories used by Installation Manager and Packaging Utility.

This incorrect configuration will cause a message that looks similar to the following error message:
