Identical packages have different size/md5sum in stable/unstable (i.e. perspic-texts)
Sorry, I don't know if this is the right group for this kind of message.
I've discovered that serveral identical packages in stable and unstable does
have different size/md5sum listed in the corresponding "Packages.gz" files.
I.e. "perspic-texts_1.4.6.deb" in "binary-all/misc" on a debian mirror are
separate files, have the same size (14475Kb) but different timestamps
(stable Apr 3/unstable Feb 5). In the corresponding "Packages.gz" only
"stable" matches (see below).
Package.gz version "stable":
---------------------------------
Package: perspic-texts
Version: 1.4-6
[...]
Filename: dists/stable/main/binary-powerpc/misc/perspic-texts_1.4-6.deb
Size: 14823392
MD5sum: f623ab81724bc88f3614c2c9cef769e3
[...]
Package.gz version "unstable"
-----------------------------------
Package: perspic-texts
Version: 1.4-6
[...]
Filename: dists/unstable/main/binary-powerpc/misc/perspic-texts_1.4-6.deb
Size: 14823398
MD5sum: 2c4aca0088904122a964477012259f30
[...]
The following packages have the same problem:
main/binary-all/devel/scalapack-test-common_1.6-13.deb size mismatch
main/binary-all/misc/perspic-texts_1.4-6.deb size mismatch
main/binary-i386/graphics/terraform_0.5.2-1.deb size mismatch
main/binary-i386/misc/perspic_1.4-6.deb size mismatch
main/binary-powerpc/admin/psmisc_19-2.deb size mismatch
