Not necessarily all good, this just means that dpkg does not know
that anything is wrong, it thinks that the packages have been
installed successfully once upon a time.

Right, the fact that `debsums -c stunnel4` outputs /usr/bin/stunnel4
means that the /usr/bin/stunnel4 file is indeed different from
what was in the Debian package when it was installed. So something
must have modified it afterwards.

OK, so while it may be interesting to figure out exactly how you got
into this situation (e.g. examining the /var/log/dpkg.log file,
checking for errors logged in syslog or elsewhere), the fastest way to
try to get back to a working stunnel4 executable file is to run:

  apt-get install --reinstall stunnel4

After that happens, try `debsums -c stunnel4` again; hopefully
this time it will not output anything at all. If that is the case,
then try starting the stunnel4 service (after creating the config
files in the /etc/stunnel4 directory).

Hope that helps!

G'luck,
Peter
