[Bug 1363519] Re: start-stop-daemon fails debsums check

[Thomas Mayer]

As of today, debsums -c reports me

debsums -c
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gbm/old.gbm_gallium_drm.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/old.libgbm.so.1.0.0

Please, please, clean up all the wrong entries. There should be a test
which any package must pass before it can be rolled out.

The test should also include updates and corresponding scripts/triggers.
It always drives me crazy when debsums -c is reporting something.
Especially, I'm not sure if I can rely on virustotal to check detected
files against malware (the virus scanners are somehow windows related).

In germany, we have a "federal trojan" created by our government which
claims to also infect linux boxes. Not that I'm afraid of being a
target. I'm rather afraid someone even worse than our government could
reuse that malware (with some improvements, as our government has no
idea about computing...).

Title:
  start-stop-daemon fails debsums check

Status in live-build package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in live-build source package in Trusty:
  New

Bug description:
  After fresh install from 14.04.1-amd64-dvd - debsums -c results in: /sbin/start-stop-daemon. I checked dpkg package with dpkg -s dpkg and got: Status: install ok installed, Version: 1.17.5ubuntu5.3 (the latest version) but when I did md5sum /sbin/start-stop-daemon, I got b1b8894ae2e3b547dca0e288634cce4a, which is md5sum for start-stop-daemon from dpkg version 1.17.5ubuntu5!
  I confirmed the problem in Ubuntu/Xubuntu 14.04.1-i386 (VirtualBox) - the same case - latest version of dpkg package contains older version of start-stop-daemon. I guess this is the same problem I reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/live-build/+bug/1150737. I fixed the problem with sudo apt-get install --reinstall dpkg - simple if You know about it, otherwise You have outdated/buggy/ package/system...
  Rgds!
