      Problem Statement/Rationale

      The Database Tools is building malformatted md5sums file for Debian packages. The release code is computing md5 hash values and generating md5sums file using its own format, which is not recognized by the Debian management system (dpkg).

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. On a Debian system, install the tools from a Debian package
        sudo dpkg -i mongodb-database-tools_100.10.0.deb
        
      1. Verify the installed package
        dpkg -V mongodb-database-tools
        

      Expected Results

      Verification should succeed.

      Actual Results

      Verification produces a format error:

      dpkg: error: control file 'md5sums' for package 'mongodb-database-tools' is missing value separator
      

      Additional Notes

      Standard md5sums has two spaces between MD5 hash value and path in each line, but the malformatted file only has one space.
