Description Pierre Ossman cendio 2024-08-06 12:25:53 CEST 
I get this on an Ubuntu 24.04:

> cendio@ubuntu2404:~$ dpkg --verify thinlinc-server
> dpkg: error: control file 'md5sums' for package 'thinlinc-server' is missing value separator

Unclear what the error is. Searching for the error claims this happens if you don't have two spaces between the fields, but we already do.
Comment 1 Pierre Ossman cendio 2024-08-06 12:29:53 CEST 
Ah, I think I see the problem. This is likely a regression from bug 7809. Our RPM packages now have SHA file hashes. And we blindly copy those over to the .deb packages, even though it expects MD5.

Slightly related, we also dump ghost entries in the md5sums file, which we probably shouldn't.
