I can't reproduce the debsum missmatch: # dpkg --list tct sleuthkit [...] ii sleuthkit 3.0.1-5 collection of tools for forensics analysis on volume and file system data ii tct 1.18-4+b1 collection of forensics related utilities # debsums -a tct | grep -v 'OK$' # debsums -a sleuthkit | grep -v 'OK$' # Though I support your suggestion regarding the use of the update-alternatives mechanism within tct. Christophe: there's a patch by Martin Godisch available within #219010 which provides the according update-alternatives mechanism. Any objections against including it? regards, -mika-
