See here for example: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1859706 (report from another person who noticed the same problem) Some of the wrong checksums are probably caused by including checksums for symlinked files from other packages into md5sums. Example: % ls -l /usr/share/doc/libxcb-shm0/changelog.Debian.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 2011-10-14 21:45 /usr/share/doc/libxcb-shm0/changelog.Debian.gz -> ../libxcb1/changelog.Debian.gz % aptitude download libxcb-render0 Get: 1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main libxcb-render0 amd64 1.7-3 [11.9 kB] Fetched 11.9 kB in 0s (146 kB/s) % dpkg -x libxcb-render0_1.7-3_amd64.deb . % dpkg -e libxcb-render0_1.7-3_amd64.deb % grep changelog.Debian.gz DEBIAN/md5sums 15276f194d3ca77e0c9682105f2f004c usr/share/doc/libxcb-render0/changelog.Debian.gz % md5sum usr/share/doc/libxcb-render0/changelog.Debian.gz md5sum: usr/share/doc/libxcb-render0/changelog.Debian.gz: No such file or directory % ls -l usr/share/doc/libxcb-render0/changelog.Debian.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 jk jk 30 2011-06-11 01:23 usr/share/doc/libxcb-render0/changelog.Debian.gz -> ../libxcb1/changelog.Debian.gz But there are also packages that actually have wrong md5sums for files included in the package. Example: % aptitude download perl-base Get: 1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main perl-base amd64 5.12.4-4 [1,430 kB] Fetched 1,430 kB in 0s (2,440 kB/s) % dpkg -x perl-base_5.12.4-4_amd64.deb . % dpkg -e perl-base_5.12.4-4_amd64.deb % grep changelog.Debian.gz DEBIAN/md5sums b060dab6fca4e84eceacdefb619fa79b usr/share/doc/perl/changelog.Debian.gz % md5sum usr/share/doc/perl/changelog.Debian.gz ec4b1914bcbe7a3143e0b16f81b9a329 usr/share/doc/perl/changelog.Debian.gz Both of this cases should be fixed.
