Bug#246096: dpkg: [patch] support for DOS-format input in utils/md5sum.c



Package: dpkg
Version: 1.9.21
Severity: minor
Tags: patch woody

The following patch adds support for DOS-format lines in the -c (check)
input to md5sum, and amends the md5sum man page to remove the 'bug'
about there being no --help option (because there is!).

This patch is against the md5sum provided with dpkg 1.9.21 (woody).

Andrew.
