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