There is still a slight problem with the library checksums especially for the libgcrypt library which currently resides in /%{_lib}. This means that if it looks for the checksum in %{_libdir}/fipscheck the /usr might not be mounted during the checksum verification.
Will all programs that use Gcrypt stop working if the checksum is unavailable or can the library function without the checksum in an emercency recovery situation? Does anybody know?
The library will work fine and it will not compute the checksum at all if the FIPS mode is not enabled which is the normal situation.
