Package: debsums
Version: 2.0.52+deb7u1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Debsums in Debian Wheezy does not reports changes in files, that have similar
name, one of which extends the other. The best example is ping and ping6. If
you perform any change in file is is just ignored:
# debsums iputils-ping
/bin/ping OK
/bin/ping6 OK
/usr/share/doc/iputils-ping/RELNOTES.gz OK
/usr/share/doc/iputils-ping/changelog.Debian.gz OK
/usr/share/doc/iputils-ping/copyright OK
/usr/share/lintian/overrides/iputils-ping OK
/usr/share/man/man8/ping.8.gz OK
# mv /bin/ping /tmp/ping
# cp /bin/less /bin/ping
# debsums iputils-ping
/bin/ping6 OK
/usr/share/doc/iputils-ping/RELNOTES.gz OK
/usr/share/doc/iputils-ping/changelog.Debian.gz OK
/usr/share/doc/iputils-ping/copyright OK
/usr/share/lintian/overrides/iputils-ping OK
/usr/share/man/man8/ping.8.gz OK

Version 2.0.53 from Debian Jessie work good. It differs in line 465, where
dpkg-query performed.
# diff debsums-2.0.53/debsums /usr/bin/debsums

< for (`LC_ALL=C dpkg-divert --list --admindir $DPKG`)
---

< my $correct_package = `dpkg-query "--admindir=$DPKG" -S "/$path" | awk
-F': ' '{print \$1}'`;

> my $correct_package = `dpkg-query "--admindir=$DPKG" -S "$path" | awk
> -F: '{print \$1}'`;
The problem is that dpkg-query uses $path as regex, when it is NOT started from
'/', and as a full name if it IS strted from '/'.
# dpkg-query "--admindir=/var/lib/dpkg" -S "bin/ping" | awk -F: '{print $1}'
iputils-ping
iputils-ping
# dpkg-query "--admindir=/var/lib/dpkg" -S "/bin/ping" | awk -F': ' '{print $1}'
iputils-ping
The fix seems to be easy - just backport 2.0.53 version to Wheezy.
