Yes indeed.  I expect you have dpkg 1.10.something.  This version
introduced a change in the behaviour of the md5sum program, which
triggered the error you mentioned.  This has been fixed in more recent
versions of the Sourceforge package (2.5-30, and maybe 2.6-0+12, or
anyway the current CVS).

  Been fixed since.

  Yes, I know.  It's hard to tell whether the system is usable or
not.  I'll try to find something to fix that too.
