Which version of tripwire is this?  It sounds like behavior I'd expect
to see with the ancient ancient ancient version that we shipped prior to
woody (there is no tripwire in woody), but I've never seen anything like
that with tripwire 2+.

How did you perform this update?  The "right way" to do it is to do
'tripwire -m u <reportfile>', which doesn't actually look at the
filesystem at all but simply merges the filesystem data contained in the
report into the database.
