Installing Tekkit 3.1.2 is currently broken due to unrecognized minecraft.jar

[Skuli]

Downloaded 'minecraft.jar' does not match MD5 of any known minecraft version!

This is NOT a bug report, this is notifying users of a potential issue in the most widely used tekkit forum.

PLEASE DON'T KELLER ME.

Whut.

Never ever ever ever ever seen this before.

Ever.

Please explain your inane thought process as to why you think this is an issue.

EDIT : Could actually be something to do with Spout. And anyway, it's not as if you can rainbow table, as it's all handled through minecraft.net

The launcher downloaded the 1.3.2 minecraft.jar, dipshit.

asdf@asdf-vm:~/.minecraft/bin$ md5sum ~/.minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar

asdf@asdf-vm:~$ md5sum ~/.techniclauncher/temp/minecraft.jar

How rude.

[Skuli]

How rude.

Yes, you were. As well as ignorant; this has happened twice that I know of since I've started using Tekkit, and I'm pretty sure it happens briefly every time Minecraft releases a new version.

Oh, and to jagerr94 from IRC: I TOLD you it was a launcher error this morning, but you wouldn't take your fingers out of your ears and stop shouting "JAVA PROBLEM JAVA PROBLEM JAVA PROBLEM, LOL WINDOWS 8" long enough to listen.

Also, I apologize to all parties involved for my bad mood. I think I missed some medication or something this morning...

[The_DarthMoogle]

This is something I've come across before, my mistake. Apologies by the boatload.

I assumed you were questioning the security of the launcher.

It's not intended behavior, so it's a bug. Why do you think this is a special snowflake scenario that shouldn't be a bug report?

[Skuli]

The original post was intended as a public service announcement to hopefully stave off a flood of questions regarding an issue that is generally difficult for newcomers to troubleshoot and will affect almost anyone performing a fresh install.

THIS is a bug report: http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/looks-like-techniclauncher-is-downloading-minecraft-1-3-2-for-tekkit-3-1-2.21225/

If, however, the admins do feel like throwing me in kitty jail for the original post, I'll put on my big-boy pants and make sure not to drop the soap.

I'll be reassured by the knowledge that I took every measure possible as a non-administrator to help my fellow players through a difficult time, and also take pride in having demonstrated through the conversation above that I can put aside my differences with fellow players even when swords have been metaphorically crossed.

Yeah, someone's already done a fix for it, like, hours ago.

*Yawn*

Lookit, Skuli, I changed your thread icon.

It would be a good idea to post a link or description of the fix you came across. The forum has been moving faster of late, and not everyone might have noticed it.
