Note that for checking a mirror, you might want to use something like the
following, preferrably immediately after a mirror run:
cd /where/the/mirror/is
md5sum < indices/md5sum
Possibly filter the input or output for stuff you're not mirroring, for
example like this:
... 2>&1| grep -Ev '^md5sum:.can.t.open.*(/source/|-m68k/|-alpha/|-sparc/)'
Typical output:
md5sum: MD5 check failed for './hamm/hamm/binary-all/editors/emacspeak_7.0-
1.deb'
md5sum: MD5 check failed for './timestamp.txt'
md5sum: MD5 check failed for './indices/md5sums.gz'

Oh BTW, the following files should certainly not be listed in indices/
md5sums:
timestamp.txt
indices/md5sums.gz
Archive_Maintenance_In_Progress
