Subject: dpkg: please allow to specify custom fields on --install
Date: Thu, 05 Apr 2012 22:34:19 +0300
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.16.1.2
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
If a high-level package manager wants to know are the installed version
of the package and a version in the repository really the same, it
cannot check this fact reliably now, as hash sum fields provided from
the repository are not present in the dpkg local database.
Please allow to add additional fields for the installation, like
dpkg --install package.deb --addfield 'SHA1: bd49e198a2ff0e639ee987dbe241924a8f14f6e7'
