Package: sendmail Version: 8.14.3-9.3 Hello,
since 8.14.3-9.3 the sendmail packages ship different buildinfo.gz files
overwriting each other since the packages all symlink their
doc-directories to /usr/share/doc/sendmail. This didn't change in
8.14.3-9.4 and is at least irritating for integrity-checks:
# debsums -as libmilter1.0.1 rmail sendmail sendmail-base sendmail-bin
sendmail-cf sendmail-doc sensible-mda
debsums: changed file /usr/share/doc/libmilter1.0.1/buildinfo.gz (from
libmilter1.0.1 package)
debsums: changed file /usr/share/doc/rmail/buildinfo.gz (from rmail package)
debsums: changed file /usr/share/doc/sendmail-base/buildinfo.gz (from
sendmail-base package)
debsums: changed file /usr/share/doc/sendmail-cf/buildinfo.gz (from sendmail-cf
package)
debsums: changed file /usr/share/doc/sensible-mda/buildinfo.gz (from
sensible-mda package)
Up to 8.14.3-9.2 only libmilter1.0.1, rmail, sendmail-bin, and
sensible-mda shipped an (indentical) buildinfo.gz:
$ for i in /var/cache/apt/archives/*_8.14.3-9.2_*; do dpkg --contents "$i";
done | grep buildinfo
-rw-r--r-- root/root 2223 2010-07-12 11:40
./usr/share/doc/libmilter1.0.1/buildinfo.gz
-rw-r--r-- root/root 2223 2010-07-12 11:40
./usr/share/doc/rmail/buildinfo.gz
-rw-r--r-- root/root 2223 2010-07-12 11:40
./usr/share/doc/sendmail-bin/buildinfo.gz
-rw-r--r-- root/root 2223 2010-07-12 11:40
./usr/share/doc/sensible-mda/buildinfo.gz
Now all the packages ship one and some of them differ:
$ for i in /var/cache/apt/archives/*_8.14.3-9.4_*; do dpkg --contents "$i";
done | grep buildinfo
-rw-r--r-- root/root 2216 2010-09-22 17:12
./usr/share/doc/libmilter1.0.1/buildinfo.gz
-rw-r--r-- root/root 2216 2010-09-22 17:12
./usr/share/doc/rmail/buildinfo.gz
-rw-r--r-- root/root 2211 2010-09-21 13:06
./usr/share/doc/sendmail/buildinfo.gz
-rw-r--r-- root/root 2211 2010-09-21 13:06
./usr/share/doc/sendmail-base/buildinfo.gz
-rw-r--r-- root/root 2216 2010-09-22 17:12
./usr/share/doc/sendmail-bin/buildinfo.gz
-rw-r--r-- root/root 2211 2010-09-21 13:06
./usr/share/doc/sendmail-cf/buildinfo.gz
-rw-r--r-- root/root 2211 2010-09-21 13:06
./usr/share/doc/sendmail-doc/buildinfo.gz
-rw-r--r-- root/root 2216 2010-09-22 17:12
./usr/share/doc/sensible-mda/buildinfo.gz
