Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: serious Justification: breaks image generation tools
Hi, I've mentioned this on #debian-ftp already, but filing a bug report in addition to make sure it's not lost. Assuming the FTP team is responsible for security's dak setup as well, we'd like to get MD5Sum back in buster/updates. python-apt relies on md5 fields internally, as documented in #944696, and a current symptom is live-wrapper's tracebacking accordingly when packages are available in security; this has been the case for the intel-microcode package, for a few hours. jessie/updates and stretch/updates seem fine (MD5Sum is present there). I don't have an opinion regarding bulleyes/updates (MD5Sum is missing there) at this point, but given at least some apt bindings don't support missing MD5Sum, it would seem premature to remove it from there as well?
