Package: general Version: 20000817 Severity: important I rsynced binary-i386-2.iso from cdimage.debian.org and the ISO image itself passes the MD5SUMS check; this proves that the problem I discovered is something everybody will encounter when they get their CDs from CD distributors who burn Debian CD using the official CD image from that site.
PDKSH dists/potato/main/binary-i386/shells/pdksh_5.2.14-1.deb does not pass md5sum test with the md5sum.txt on the CD. I compared it with a copy I obtained from Debian package mirrors, and it seems to be corrupt -- System Information Debian Release: 2.2 Kernel Version: Linux siamese 2.2.17pre16-RAID.ss.e820-1f92bf0 #1 Thu Aug 10 23:20:35 PDT 2000 i586 unknown
