5 dpkg: md5sum doesn't accept '-c' option. - ID: 1834149

Last Update: Settings changed ( costabel )

Details:

% echo hello > foo
% md5sum foo > MD5SUMS
% md5sum -c MD5SUMS
usage: md5sum [-bv] [-c [file]] | [file...]
Generates or checks MD5 Message Digests
-c check message digests (default is generate)
-v verbose, print file names when checking
-b read files in binary mode
The input for -c should be the list of message digests and file names
that is printed on stdout by this program when it generates digests.

The coreutils md5sum utility 'gmd5sum' works fine.

Date: 2008-04-19 16:10 Sender: costabel dpkg-1.10.21-1225 now uses the system getopt. This seems to have taken care of this bug.

I have now rebuilt dpkg on Leopard, and I confirm that you are right. There seems to be a problem with the getopt library built and used by dpkg and linked into md5sum. It behaves differently on Leopard than on Tiger. This needs to be cleared.

Date: 2007-11-22 09:48 Sender: costabel I cannot reproduce this. It works as advertised. What version of dpkg do you have installed?
