Do you mean the coreutils package should replace the MD5 sum of /usr/bin/dircolors in the fileutils.md5sum file? I could reproduce this while upgrading from woody to testing. The only /var/lib/dpkg/info/fileutils.* file modified during the upgrade is /var/lib/dpkg/info/fileutils.list (among others, the /usr/bin/dircolors entry was removed). Here is a description of what happens: All MD5 sums of the /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.md5sums files are tested (except doc, etc.) If the checksum differ (this is the case for the MD5 sum of /usr/bin/dircolors in fileutils.md5sum), it checks if the file is diverted (this is not the case), and checks if the file is not a conffile. If the behavior of the coreutils package is right, this could be fixed by checking if $package is also the package owner of the $file with 'dpkg -S', or by checking if the file is in $package.list (probably better). hth, -- Nekral
