Package: debsums Version: 2.0.48+nmu3 Severity: important File: /usr/bin/debsums User: [email protected] Usertags: multiarch
1/ You should not scan /var/lib/dpkg/status yourself to find a list of installed packages. Use "dpkg-query -W" instead. With the introduction of multiarch you might have the same packages listed multiple times with a different architecture. dpkg-query -W correctly returns "foo", "foo:arch" while your code would see "foo" twice. 2/ You should not access /var/lib/dpkg/info/$pkg.md5sums directly. Instead you must ask dpkg-query --control-path to find out the correct path: ┏rivendell:~ ┗(506)$ dpkg-query --control-path debsums /var/lib/dpkg/info/debsums.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/debsums.templates /var/lib/dpkg/info/debsums.postrm /var/lib/dpkg/info/debsums.md5sums /var/lib/dpkg/info/debsums.config ┏rivendell:~ ┗(507)$ dpkg-query --control-path debsums md5sums /var/lib/dpkg/info/i386/debsums.md5sums It returns nothing if the file doesn't exist. It would be nice to see this fixed shortly so that we can upload a multiarch-enabled dpkg.
