Why
The standalone installer validates package checksums with an awk interval expression. Older mawk releases do not support that expression, so they reject valid 64-character digests and report that the release manifest is missing an entry. This affects both x64 and ARM64 systems on common Debian-derived environments.
Fixes #24219.
What Changed
Replace the awk interval expression with an explicit length check plus rejection of non-hexadecimal characters. This preserves the existing SHA-256 validation and lowercase normalization while working with older awk implementations.
