Both the executable and the manpage for md5sum seem to be missing

to be part of the base?
Meanwhile, "apropos md5" yields this line, among others
gmd5sum(1), md5sum(1) - compute and check MD5 message digest
but "man md5sum" says
No manual entry for md5sum
How did that line get into the apropos, when the corresponding
manpage is (apparently) not installed?

The command to calculate md5 sums is 'md5', not 'md5sum', and it is part
of the base.
On my system (6.2-RC2)
apropos md5 | grep sum:
md5(1), sha1(1), sha256(1), rmd160(1) - calculate a message-digest
fingerprint (checksum) for a file.
Not sure why apropos md5 shows md5sum and gmd5sum (g for gnu?), maybe it's
from a port.
I also suspect that gmd5sum is a link to md5sum or vice versa.
