Maybe I'm being dense here, but I don't think that m/\/.*\/(Packages|Sources)$/o is going to match a file called Packages.gz.
Here's the scenario: Suppose you have the following files that are found in the order given: Packages.gz Packages Then the original code will: 1) Find Packages.gz and md5sum it into the Release file. 2) Find Packages, gzip it (overwriting and possibly *changing* Packages.gz) and then md5sum Packages into the Release file. Now in Release, the md5sum for Packages.gz is wrong. This can happen if (for example) the original version had a different compression level. The Perl code relied on the "fact" that "find" would always find Packages before Packages.gz, which happens to be true a lot of the time, depending on how the files are created and how directory entries are allocated, but is not true all of the time.
