You'll get this if the /var/lib/dpkg/info/$PACKAGENAME.md5sums file for the package is missing. This might be caused by either very old packages, or missing files in /var/lib/dpkg/info ... You might try reinstalling the package. The command debsums --list-missing will show you which packages have no md5sums file. I've detected a few just now, and they turned out to be old packages no longer available. debsums is also potentially useful for detecting simplistic replacement of files that may have been done maliciously. Which is another way of saying that if you are intending to be malicious you might also re-write the md5sums file as well. ;-( -- James Cameron mailto:quozl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://quozl.netrek.org/ _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
