It works for me. I suspect you might not have compiled sb-md5 from clean,
and due to that bug I fixed in 2.26.9 which required a substantial refactoring,
ASDF can now see that file was not up-to-date, when it couldn't see it earlier.
Can you recompile this contrib from clean, either in place (by getting
proper access rights)
or in another directly from which you reinstall afterwards?
