Do you have the full upgrade log available? I don't have a "script" transcript, but I do have dpkg.log. The relevant machine was unavailable over the network until recently, and I was upgrading some 500 packages; it hadn't seen any updates for months.
On my laptop, I had twiddled with /usr/bin/md5sum* since it disappeared at one point; I first copied/moved/renamed/(something) /usr/bin/md5sum.(textutils??) to /usr/bin/md5sum. More recently (this weekend), I compiled md5sum (happening to have coreutils source lying around, but no network connection) and stuffed it there. The relevant machine was *not* my laptop, and I don't think I had manually touched /usr/bin/md5sum. > Hint: /var/backups/dpkg.status.* may contain info on what was > previously installed.
