Package: python-debian Version: 0.1.21+nmu2 Severity: normal SHA-512 hashes are allowed in apt repository Release/Sources files but python-debian returns them as unicode strings instead of the usual multi-valued fields that other hash headers return.
I am currently using this hack to work around this issue.
if 'sha512' not in debian.deb822.Release._multivalued_fields:
debian.deb822.Release._multivalued_fields['sha512'] = ['sha512',
'size', 'name']
if 'checksums-sha512' not in debian.deb822.Sources._multivalued_fields:
debian.deb822.Sources._multivalued_fields['checksums-sha512'] =
['sha512', 'size', 'name']
Here is an example of a Release file with SHA-512 hashes:
