Idea:
Plain
$ dpkg --verify #with no arguments
is great to find all the problems on the system.
However then one needs dlocate etc. to find out the package
which the problem files belong to.

So there should be a way to get it to tell us at the same time.

I have an other related probelm

'dpkg --verify'     gives me:

"dpkg: error: control file 'md5sums' missing value separator"

But doesn't tell me *which* package has a problem.

I have to do this to locate this package:

for a in $(dpkg-query --show --showformat '${binary:Package}\n');
    do dpkg --verify $a || echo $a;
done

By the way it's 'gootool', an unofficial package you may find here:

The md5 seems fine; but this is an other problem.

Hi!

They are only peripherally related. The problem in the original bug
report cannot be fixed w/o adding another output format, as the curent
one (rpm) is defined and does not include the package name.

Ah, yeah, fixed this now for 1.18.x.

It seems it's not using two spaces to separate the hash from the
filename. So that seems like a manually built md5sums file.

Thanks,
Guillem
