Hi. It seems the shasum is wrong for oldstable ubuntu 20.04. ( https://download.checkmk.com/checkmk/1.6.0p28/check-mk-raw-1.6.0p28_0.focal_amd64.deb ).

Hey ways,
Thanks for reporting the issue. We are on it.

Hello everyone,

This is also an issue of this release: 3Par graphs for Datasources “Growing”/”Shrinking” missing in PNP4Nagios. It would be great if you could look into this, too.

Thanks,
Thomas

Still wrong checksum. Hope the package served is from checkmk, and wasn’t replaced by a third-party.
