On a fresh install of slackware 12.1 on my laptop, playing around with acpi and KLaptopDaemon I hit this:
after selecting 'Setup Helper Application' in the ACPI Config tab. I don't believe the appication was maliciously modified (md5sum of the install dvd was correct) but does anybody else encounter this message?

Also, a quick google shows that the 'solution' to this problem is to disable the check in source and recompiling the package. I believe this gives a false sense of security, so does anyone have an idea/suggestion which leads to a real solution?

Blind guess: the real solution probably implies skipping the part of stripping the executable. While compiling and building the program, the build environment probably checks the checksums of the different programs, but when the package is built, I suspect, the slackbuild script strips the executables and that's why the checksums don't match.
