I've now tested my version of Goswin's patch by running my chroot-minimizing piuparts (with the patched dpkg in the chroot) against all packages that used to work. They all work, except a couple of hundred, which fail due to missing dependencies (usually on adduser or debconf related things), no

Brief summary: when purging a package with conffiles in subdir of /etc, the dirs are removed the package's list of files, and if the dirs are shared with another package, this causes warnings from dpkg and leaves directories on disk. I seem to be running into this somewhat often when testing

Bug#161097: textutils md5sum is happy with signed md5sum.txt files

2002-10-03 Thread Lars Wirzenius
Adam Heath: Signed files are not md5sum checksum files. dpkg replaces the textutils md5sum with its own, and since they are compatible, that's good. There are minor differences, and one of them is that the textutils md5sum is happy with garbage lines in the input, e.g., GPG signatures. The
