Whonix DVM failed debsum

User Support

Whenever I create a DVM based off whonix-workstation-17 template, I get a failed md5 check sum for /usr/share/anon-apps-config/kioslaverc

I did this using sudo debsums | grep -v OK.

I also tried the same command in the whonix-workstation-17 template but i didnt get a failed checksum there. Is there a reason why it only shows up when i create a DVM based on this template?

Should i be worried about the checksum failure?

I have also a failed checksum in a Whonix-based App qube when I verify a USB stick with Qubes 4.2.2 written on it. The same USB stick shows the correct checksum in other qubes.

what does this mean?

The /usr/share/anon-apps-config/kioslaverc file contains the hardcoded gateway IP address and it’s updated by this script /usr/lib/qubes-whonix/replace-ips.
