Hi Nelson,

Thanks for reporting that.
The announcement message contained stale checksums.
They were generated before this final change:

        * tests/du/trailing-slash: Allow for a directory of size `0'.
        That happens at least on file systems of type tmpfs on linux-2.4.18.

However, the .sig files are valid.
Here are the correct checksums:

c34a3812fd495fa142319cfed815ede5  coreutils-4.5.4.tar.gz
24f92ade62c4fef4b393668c4c7474cd  coreutils-4.5.4.tar.bz2
e77b1135eb0e53aee1bcc1c301f04605  coreutils-4.5.3-4.5.4.xdelta
f2d2f4ef4bdc66cdcd8fd147772cea73ddf114df  coreutils-4.5.4.tar.gz
bbf0a7f8b2da0de013c7b69be1695e23dcfa4738  coreutils-4.5.4.tar.bz2
d03c2c2fb35726ef8001a157a7a8d0b2ae5fce64  coreutils-4.5.3-4.5.4.xdelta

Sorry about that.

FYI, my automated upload procedure includes a step to verify that
the checksums on the uploaded files match those in a locally-generated
message template.  They did match.  Now I'll change things so that I
cannot end up sending a stale template.  Process matters :-)

Jim
