Package: dpkg Version: 1.13.25 Severity: grave
Hello, during a class explaining to the participants how important the consistent state of a system is, dpkg happily installed a broken Debian package, which was corrupted during transmission from a mirror. Attached is a type script of the installation, the corrupt package in question can be downloaded from http://scratch.spiney.org/ for further investigation (the file with the .ok extension is the same file without the corruption). Basically this seems to be the same as #178735 which is over 4 years old and is still not fixed, hence I submit a new bugreport with severity grave. Kind regards WK
