At EVERY system this files have different md5sum, but rpm -v > rpm_package doesn't report any changes in MD5!

And since a lot of binaries link to glibc, a lot of binaries got re-prelinked (try saying that fast). RPM takes prelinking into account when verifying packages. Maybe you can set tripwire up to use RPM? Or I believe someone else pointed out a way of getting prelink to give you consistent md5sums. -- William Hooper
