Uninstalling Hashalot or simply r I found this bug on Gentoo when I installed git-annex on a system which already had hashalot installed. In the case of Gentoo, git-annex is compiled with hashalot's executables in the path, but normal users don't have /usr/sbin/ in their path so git-annex just fails to find the executable. If you put hashalot in the path, then git annex still fails to work as hashalot is not a replacement for sha1sum and friends. It may be enough to just prefer sha???sum over sha??? if they both exist. + +> Grr. There is no consistency across unixes as to the names of these +> programs and now something is installing shaN commands that don't +> generate a checksum?! +> +> Ok, fine, configure now checks that the program it finds outputs a known +> good checksum.
