Hi, All right, I think I a beginning to agree. Maybe dpkg *should have integrity checking (as well as permission and ownership being recorded record [in the .list file maybe?] -- like a ls -al listing)
If per file mdsums are to be recorded, then maybe hte too should be pgp-signed (possibly by dpkg at package build time, possibly a detached signature). manoj -- "Sometimes you have to be a harsh cookie editor."
