Package: dpkg /usr/bin/md5sum from base/dpkg has incorrect output for files 2^31 or larger in size. At least for a file of all zeroes (didn't test whether content mattered).
Steps to demonstrate error: # Create file of all zeroes that contains 2^31 - 1 = 2147483647 bytes dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=1MB count=2147 dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=483647 >>bigfile #produce md5sum for this file md5sum bigfile b3dc5e51b0698ddf18d48bbf16c1153f bigfile #now create a file that is 2^31 in size dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=1 >>bigfile md5sum bigfile bigfile: Success #run md5sum.texutils on bigfile from the coreutils md5sum.textutils bigfile b3dc5e51b0698ddf18d48bbf16c1153f bigfile Running Debian unstable on x86 platform dpkg = 1.10.9 coreutils = 4.5.1-2 Kevin
