Package: debsums
Version: 2.0.15

Hello,

with version 3.0pl1-87 the cron package started to deliver a bit
different md5sums file, containing things like:
72b5f5fe6cf0cfa3c763c8ecb3d5a766  ./usr/bin/crontab
9fe3e0296afc1e1ed3f3b0b4203a90a9  ./usr/sbin/cron
...
c3df5f1fe5cc4d5f5bc836c0d80f81df  ./etc/cron.daily/standard
...
b16c871ad13d4d7c44d610ef1546c194  ./etc/crontab

debsums stumbles over such things and cannot detect ./etc/crontab
as a conffile anymore:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# debsums cron | grep etc.crontab
/./etc/crontab     OK
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# debsums -e cron | grep etc.crontab
/etc/crontab       OK
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~#

I'm not sure, if such "artificial extended" pathnames are or should
be allowed in md5sums files. If they aren't or you don't feel they
should, please feel free to take appropriate actions (i.e. reassign
this bug to cron or to the policy people).

However, this issue could be fixed by some "path minimization"
algorithm, but I don't know, if such a thing does already exist.


regards
   Mario
