Packer: "checksums didn't match expected" doesn't say what the checksum was

Packer version: 1.3.3

I'm trying to build a new image with the virtualbox-iso builder, and keep getting the "checksums didn't match expected" error. It would be really useful if I was told what checksum the image did have, so I can correct my mistake...

So, I've got a fix I was about to submit a PR for that does just this. Should I still do so?

Sure; we can merge it and use it while we are still waiting for the larger go-getter PR to land, and remove it once it's redundant.
