Title:
  debsum of /usr/sbin/start-stop-daemon failed

Status in live-build package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in live-build source package in Noble:
  New

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  The bug causes debsums to fail on the binary file "/usr/sbin/start-
  stop-daemon" from package "dpkg", which is updated during live-build
  building livecd rootfs.

  [ Test Plan ]

  1. Use Launchpad livefs feature and enable proposed

  2. Build a Ubuntu livefs

  3. Chroot into minimal.squashfs

  4. run debsums -c to check the checksum, there should be no output
  (which indicates files failed to match the package)

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  For now, no idea where it could go wrong, as we are not using live-
  build across releases.

  [ Original Report ]

  The image generated by the live-build version in noble has an error
  that checksum of /usr/sbin/start-stop-daemon mismatched.

  According to build log, dpkg has been updated from 1.22.6ubuntu6 to
  1.22.6ubuntu6.1, however the checksum of the file "start-stop-daemon"
  matches the one from 1.22.6ubuntu6.

  Checking the log of live-build in Debian, they have fixed this issue
  by changing the dpkg-divert path from /sbin/start-stop-daemon to
  /usr/sbin/start-stop-daemon.  I am trying to fix this issue in this
  direction.
