These seem OK. That is, the package is consistent with itself. Check if
your checksums match the ones here. You can check the file one by one.
Which mirror are you using? I'm assuming you are using the crypto
version of apt with up to date archive keys (ie. you get no warnings
about untrusted sources).
I found the same problem with jikes-kaffe and jikes-classpath.
Checksum errors, and it is the copyright files that are affected.
So I made backups of the mismatching jikes-kaffe files that were wrong,
before reinstalling the package from my .deb file.
(The wrong files for the jikes package is now lost.)
The reinstalled jikes-kaffe had correct checksums. So I
compared the "old" and "new" copyright files, and found
them to be completely different.
The correct /usr/share/doc/jikes-kaffe/copyright starts like this:
KAFFE LICENSES
Kaffe includes code from many different sources. Currently it contains a
great deal of code under the GPL and LGPL. Those licenses can be found in
/usr/share/common-licenses. Some parts of Kaffe under those licenses have
various exceptions detailed below. Additionally, some parts of Kaffe are
from work by the W3C and is therefore under a W3C license. That license
is also included in this file.
The wrong file starts like this:
This package was originaly debianized by Mike Goldman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on
Sun, 14 Mar 1999 12:46:09 -0500.
Current maintainer is Adam Majer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
and it continues with an "IBM public licence". for the jikes compiler.
The word IBM isn't even mentioned in the correct file.
So I wonder, has there been a change of licence without an update in
the version number? Or is wrong file versions something that can happen
when I break apt-get/dpkg with ctrl+C? I do that occationally, I
believed that
any half-written package should be re-unpacked upon rerunning the
apt-get command later.
Or is this assumption wrong? It'd be strange for apt-get to update its
database with a new version number installed if the unpacking
(or some pre-/post-install script) got interrupted.
