[22:46:04 /tmp]$ grep -A15 -B3 ng-cjk /var/lib/dpkg/available
some awkwardnesses in the semantics (for instance, moving a file to a
different directory will render its file handle invalid).
Package: ng-cjk
Priority: optional
Section: editors
Installed-Size: 164
Maintainer: Yasuhiro Take <take@debian.org>
Architecture: i386
Source: ng
Version: 1.4.3.1-1
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.1), libncurses5, ng-common
Filename: pool/main/n/ng/ng-cjk_1.4.3.1-1_i386.deb
Size: 73550
MD5sum: dcf8a20ce9180fa42df
[22:46:18 /tmp]$ wc /var/lib/dpkg/available
69953 307766 2547713 /var/lib/dpkg/available
[22:46:41 /tmp]$
It looks like the MD5sum is the last line on this file. Another thing is that
dpkg -l doc-linux-text
now doesn't care - do not know why. Could be that I have added a '\n' there by hand, but I am not sure.
