I downloaded the packages my laptop and copied them to the target
machine via scp and got a different MD5/cpio error. I then tried to
install kernel-rt on my laptop and got the same MD5/cpio error I got on
the target machine, so I don't think there was any corruption in the scp
copy. I also downloaded them manually on the target machine via wget
and appended a "?noproxy" to the end (I don't know if that makes a
difference) and got again a different MD5/cpio error.
However it is just the kernel-rt and alsa-firmware packages, so far I
haven't had this issue with any others. Strange indeed.
