In the past, the SUSE folks offered the initial iso image, and left it as such until the next version. People (like me) who wait for the new version's bugs to be fixed before upgrading, download and verify the latest iso when ready to install/ upgrade. The latest iso has all patches and changes applied which saves you a bunch of updates after an installation. To me, that's a good thing. I guess SUSE thought so also. I guess you can still use the initial iso, and then install bunches of patches and updates if you want to, but in my case, downloading just before updating is easier and less error prone.

Hi,

I was notified about an issue when trying to verify the downloaded ISO image:

In the checksum file there is a different filename (although the checksum itself is correct): openSUSE-Leap-15.4-DVD-x86_64-Media.iso

The downloaded file is: https://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/leap/15.4/iso/openSUSE-Leap-15 .4-DVD-x86_64-Build243.2-Media.iso

This is unconvenient up to confusing for a user.

Does anyone know what the reason is and how we can prevent this for the future?

Cheers Axel
