Package: coreutils
Version: 5.2.1-2.1
Severity: normal

/usr/bin/md5sum does not seem to be owned by any package,
yet some package clearly installs it.    It seems like
it ought to be owned by coreutils, perhaps?


Tiger (automated system auditing) reports this:
# Checking installed files against packages...
--WARN-- [lin001w] File `/usr/bin/md5sum' does not belong to any package. 

And, indeed, it is true.   One can look via dpkg -S, and see nothing:

$ dpkg -S md5sum | grep bin
tetex-bin: /usr/share/tetex-bin/01tetex.cnf.md5sum
coreutils: /usr/bin/md5sum.textutils
debhelper: /usr/bin/dh_md5sums
$

And, yet the file exists and clearly came from *some* package.
(I just finished a fresh install of Debian last night, so
I know it was put there by the Debian installler.)

$ ls -l /usr/bin/md5sum
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 28340 2006-02-11 19:46 /usr/bin/md5sum
$
