Changes:
dpkg (1.10.5) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Fix segfault in md5sum if the file being checked doesn't exist.
Closes: #154503.
* Fix extraction of md5sum in dpkg-scanpackages. Closes: #153769.
* Handle directories better in md5sum. Closes: #157453.
* Fix read past buffer in lib/nfmalloc.c. Closes: #157304.
* Fix several read pass buffer bugs, and a memleak. Closes: #155362.
* Fix segfault when --auto-deconfigure is given. Closes: #157762.
* Allow spaces between the end of a version, and the trailing ')'.
Closes: #154898.
* Fixes for HURD: Closes: #156545
* Add i386-gnu0.3 to archtable.
* Fix handling of static compiles, with regard to zlib.
* Previous install-infos(before 1.10) handled multiple dir file entries,
because they would copy the entire stanza unmodified. The newest
version does not do this, as it reformats the options, and thereby
only takes the first line. So, we now split all the lines from the
stanza, and process them all. Closes: #147492.
* Fix corruption of available file, caused by use of memory that was
previously freed. Closes: #154257.
* Fix several minor memleaks.
* Remove /usr/sbin/start-stop-daemon. Closes: #156437.
