Package: debsums Version: 2.0.52 Severity: important The next version of dpkg will get rid of the compatibility symlink in /usr/sbin/dpkg-divert and currently debsums hardcodes this path.
I would suggest that you stop hardcoding it and that you rely on PATH to find it out (if necessary, add /usr/sbin/ to the PATH): $ which dpkg-divert /usr/bin/dpkg-divert $ grep dpkg-divert /usr/bin/debsums for (`LC_ALL=C /usr/sbin/dpkg-divert --list --admindir $DPKG`) I found it out because reportbug now generates bogus debsums output: sh: 1: /usr/sbin/dpkg-divert: not found (see at the end of this mail) -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.8-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages debsums depends on: ii dpkg 1.17.0+0~1367982640.169~1.gbp57b46c ii libdpkg-perl 1.17.0+0~1367982640.169~1.gbp57b46c ii libfile-fnmatch-perl 0.02-1+b2 ii perl 5.14.2-21 ii ucf 3.0025+nmu3 debsums recommends no packages. debsums suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- debsums errors found: sh: 1: /usr/sbin/dpkg-divert: not found -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
