Package: dpkg Severity: normal Version: 1.18.10 hi,
open-vm-tools-desktop contains a systemd mount unit with a maybe unusal filename:
/lib/systemd/system/run-vmblock\x2dfuse.mount
\x2d is the systemd way to escape characters, see systemd.unit(5):
Basically, given a path, "/" is replaced by "-", and
all other characters which are not ASCII alphanumerics are
replaced by C-style "\x2d" escapes (except that "_" is never
replaced and "." is only replaced when it would be the first
character in the escaped path).
dpkg -V fails on that:
# dpkg -V open-vm-tools-desktop
dpkg: error: control file 'md5sums' missing value separator
Reason for that seems to be that md5sum - similar as sha256sum and
others, seems to start such lines with a \:
\dde14951417e0e9f73b80f871e6540d1 lib/systemd/system/run-vmblock\\x2dfuse.mount
Removing the \ from the beginning of the line make dpkg -V verify the package successfull.
So either dh_md5sums should remove \-es, or dpkg should handle the format md5sum produces.
