Package: debsums
Version: 2.2.2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
See this zsh session:

% sudo debsums -s spamassassin
debsums: package spamassassin is not installed
% apt-cache policy spamassassin
spamassassin:
Installed: 3.4.2-1~deb9u1
Candidate: 3.4.2-1~deb9u1
Version table:

*** 3.4.2-1~deb9u1 900

Clearly, either apt-cache or debsums is wrong, and since spamassassin just
scanned the last mail traveling through this server, I'm betting debsums is
wrong.

Correct, I never filed a bug report, I just fixed it directly.

Nah, looking for bug reports first is still the right way.

Yeah, usually the package from Sid installs on Stable rather easily.

No problem. Now we at least have the issue documented in the BTS. :-)

Thanks. Yes, closing it as fixed with 2.2.3.
