Package: dpkg
Version: 1.18.23
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


This morning installing a package with `apt` resulted in the error
below.

```
$ sudo apt install libevolution-dbgsym
[…]
Vormals nicht ausgewähltes Paket evolution-dbgsym wird gewählt.
dpkg: ../../src/filesdb.c:604: findnamenode: Zusicherung »(*pointerp)->name[0] 
== '/'«  nicht erfüllt.
[…]
```

(The translition is something like: “Assurance »(*pointerp)->name[0] ==
'/'« »(*pointerp)->name[0] == '/'« not valid.”)

Unfortunately, I did not save more of the output. Running the same
command this evening, everything worked. Also this noon on a different
system, I couldn’t reproduce this.

Note, that the system, where this happened uses a 32-bit user space.


Thanks,

Paul
