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

[Thomas Mayer]

To track it down, I took the 14.04.1 media
119cb63b48c9a18f31f417f09655efbd again and installed it without any
updates.

Doing that, I got the two 
144bf4beed11fb77e5ad629452741310 /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-32-generic
b1b8894ae2e3b547dca0e288634cce4a /sbin/start-stop-daemon

again. So, the problem should be reprocudable by anyone. I would
appreciate if someone could double check this.

This kind of problem should be avoided in future by making sure that
debsums can safely check integrity of installed packages again. We
totally rely on such instruments when it comes to security. Especially
when core components are affected.

Best regards
Thomas

Title:
  start-stop-daemon fails debsums check

Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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 I fixed the problem with sudo apt-get install --reinstall dpkg - simple if You know about it, otherwise You have outdated/buggy/ package/system...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!
