wrong checksums in acroread package

[Martin]

Binary package hint: acroread

I installed acroread (9.1.0-7intrepid1) from the partner repository and there seem to be some checksum errors in the package:

root@host~# debsums -s acroread
debsums: checksum mismatch acroread file /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib/libldap.so
debsums: checksum mismatch acroread file /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib/liblber.so
debsums: checksum mismatch acroread file /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib/libORBit-2.so
debsums: checksum mismatch acroread file /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib/libbonobo-2.so
debsums: checksum mismatch acroread file /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib/libbonobo-activation.so
debsums: checksum mismatch acroread file /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib/libgnomespeech.so
debsums: checksum mismatch acroread file /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/GlobalPrefs/.config

Our bcfg2 client doesn't like this, perhaps the maintainer could update the package?

This is still an open issue with acroread-9.1.2-3intrepid1

[Martin (agima)]

The problem is still present with the latest karmic package.

problem present in hardy - Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS

Hi,

I get the following:

debsums: can't open acroread file /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib/libldap.so (No such file or directory)
debsums: can't open acroread file /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib/liblber.so (No such file or directory)
debsums: checksum mismatch acroread file /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/GlobalPrefs/.config

The first two are due to some non-standard symlink handling. The last is due to the fact that on install, that file is updated. I'll look into getting these corrected in the next version. I appreciate your continuing to bring this to my attention.

As for the mismatches for the other files, that is strange. Do you still see that in 9.3?

[Martin (agima)]

No, only those three files in 9.3. I don't know if it is still worth fixing those hardy packages, but getting the package fixed for 10.04 would be nice.

[Karl Newell (runlogan)]

Also confirming those three files for acroread 3.1-1karmic1 on lucid

debsums -s acroread
debsums: changed file /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib/libldap.so (from acroread package)
debsums: changed file /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib/liblber.so (from acroread package)
debsums: changed file /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/GlobalPrefs/.config (from acroread package)

I do think it's worth fixing in Hardy as it's an LTS and supported until April 2011.

Problem still present in 9.3.2-lucid1

[Tuomas Heino (iheino+ub)]

Present in 9.4.2-0natty1 as well.

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

Hi, a new acroread release (0.9.4) is available for update, could you give it a try and tell us if the problem persists?
If you still have this bug please set back the status to "new"
thanks
