You may want to double-check your results by running your command
individually for that package. I noticed some flakiness when I ran
md5sum with the *.md5sum wildcard on the /var/lib/dpkg/info/ directory.
A few files had failed to match sums from various packages. Yet, when I
ran md5sum on an individual <packagename>.md5sum file, all the files
listed there checked out OK. Evidently, there's a bug lurking somewhere.
