I believe noting that something broke in the md5sum code. I didn't take particular notice though, as I was really just hunting for the differences in database versions, but the md5sum code (presumably the part involving the DB) is definitely where I would look for errors first. BTW, if you want to get rid of duplicate _files_, you can use any duplicate finder and then clean up the DB using http://svenutcke.de/sw/f-spot/cleanup/ --- but alas that currently doesn't support DB-versions newer than 16.5 (i.e. 17 and 18). I would, however, be more than happy to adapt it if you can send me such a database file (want to make sure I get it right). If f-spot modified the file _header_ on import (which it tends to do for me), you unfortunately need a duplicate file finder which only checks image contents (I have some such beast, unpublished --- mail me, if you need it). If you truly got duplicate database entries (i.e. one file, two or more DB entries), it ought to be fairly simple to derive some SQL to set that right --- but for that to work with the newer DB versions would again mean I need to actually see such a file (or you just have to trust my guesses, but would you?)
