That's right. I have the following repo in my sources.list.d/: deb https://apt.homegear.eu/Debian/ bullseye/ If the package itsself is responsible for the entries in /var/lib/dpkg/status and if there is a way to escape a space, then the bug should be filed against the package. > > --- /usr/bin/debsums.orig 2021-11-02 15:34:32.689829644 +0100 > > +++ /usr/bin/debsums 2021-11-02 16:49:18.669901591 +0100 > > @@ -264,7 +264,7 @@ > > $package_name{$field{"Package"}} = > > $field{"binary:Package"}; > > } > > $installed{$field{"binary:Package"}}{Conffiles} = { > > - map m!^\s*/(\S+)\s+([\da-f]+)!, > > + map m!^\s*/(.+)\s+([\da-f]+)!, > > grep { not ($ignore_obsolete and / obsolete$/) } > > split /\n/, $field{Conffiles} > > } if $field{Conffiles}; > > Not sure from a first glance either. This \S looks as if was there on > purpose. Will need a closer look. I'm not sure either. But if this regex is greedy, it will stop at the first space. My version stops before the last space before the md5sum. That being said, my version will also fail (as will the current version of debsums) if: - the name contains spaces and - the last portion after a space contains digits and a-f - there is no md5sum (which probably should not happen) Cheers Tom
