Package: dpkg Version: 1.9.21 When fed with an md5sum list which has empty lines appended, "md5sum -c" tries to check a garbage file.
To reproduce: /tmp % echo hello > hello /tmp % md5sum hello > sum /tmp % echo "" >> sum /tmp % echo "" >> sum /tmp % md5sum -c < sum md5sum: can't open hell md5sum: can't open hel [2] /tmp % The same seems to happen with other garbage lines as well. This is a Debian Woody system with all security updates, AMD Athlon XP, Linux 2.6.7. Package versions: dpkg 1.9.21 libc6 2.2.5-11.5 libncurses5 5.2.20020112a-7 libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 2.95.4-11woody1
