Summary0007128: weekly images shasums can be out of date for a short while
Description

The weekly image currently at http://cdimage.kali.org/kali-images/kali-weekly/ is for 2021-W13, but the SHA1 and SHA256 sums downloadable from the same page are the previous week's (W12) ones.

So this is actually a known issue. When the new images are uploaded every week, the shasums can be outdated for a short while, due to cache effect. This is a minor inconvenience though, and it only affects the weekly images, once a week when they are updated. We plan to improve that at some point.
