[Alf Gaida]

Package: debsums
Version: 2.1.2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,
the installation of debsums stops with
LANG=C apt install debsums

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

It seems, that the ucf calls in postinst cause this behaviour.
