Firmware Update - md5sum problem

WD Legacy Products My Book Live
1

I tried to update WD MyBook Live (version 01.02.03) via SSH using various firmware versions (1.x & 2.x) and got the same problems:

  1. When I use updateFirmwareFromFile.sh script I got:

Compare checksum
-: FAILED
md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 1 computed checksum did NOT match

  1. The same response when I run updateFirmwareToLatest.sh script

  2. The same response when I separately run dpkg

  3. md5sum apnc-010303-20110119.deb returns:

90b11e7f260bdaa738b8e21845b3c76d apnc-010303-20110119.deb

  1. But md5sum -c apnc-010303-20110119.deb returns:

md5sum: apnc-010303-20110119.deb: no properly formatted MD5 checksum lines found

I repeated steps 4-5 for various firmware versions - the same problem.
I repeated steps 4-5 on another Linux machine - the same problem

Any help ?

Thank you in advance,
Gregory
