Bug#638727: debsums reports that some aspell-el files have changed

[Francois Gouget]

Package: aspell-el
Version: 0.50-3-6
Severity: normal


Install aspell-el and immediately run 'debsums -s aspell-el'. The output is:
debsums: changed file /var/lib/aspell/el.rws (from aspell-el package)
debsums: changed file /var/lib/aspell/el.compat (from aspell-el package)

This means these files were changed by aspell-el itself, thus making it 
impossible to check for tampering (or file corruption), and casting doubt on 
the entire system for administrators who depend on the output of debsums.
