Package file paths (0)

Paths come from the repository package-file index for the observed builds. They describe archive/package associations, not every file that will exist on a running system after maintainer scripts, alternatives, generated state, diversions, or installation choices.

No package-associated file paths were observed for the displayed build metadata.

Versions, suites, and repositories

Each row is recorded package-index metadata for one version, architecture, suite, and repository. Names, URLs, and sizes are source-reported; a link is a potentially mutable retrieval location, not an OpenFactory redistribution claim or proof that OpenFactory retained the artifact bytes.

Checksums and observation dates

For an APT source, signature verification authenticates the repository metadata chain and the Packages index containing this source-reported artifact digest. It does not certify package safety.

8.95.6 / allObserved Sep 1, 2026 to Sep 1, 2026

Verification status: Metadata observed; artifact bytes were not independently fetched or hashed by this catalog import. The digest below is source-reported.

Source-reported sha256: 03d23023e3efc4c5bcd29fc92151b6b18788e497877bfd97f11193fca9c63b61

After downloading that exact artifact, compare its bytes with the source-reported expected digest:

printf '%s %s\n' '03d23023e3efc4c5bcd29fc92151b6b18788e497877bfd97f11193fca9c63b61' 'alien_8.95.6_all.deb' | sha256sum --check --strict -

A match establishes equality with the repository metadata value. It does not establish safety or catalog-side artifact retrieval.
