Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.15
Severity: normal
Followup-For: Bug #240603

The same problem happened to me.  It appears some version did not
allow for the changed output of md5sum when writing the configuration,
and now popcon has been modified not to accept what was blindly
accepted before.  Either the install should volenteer to fix the
config file, or popcon should accept and trim the " -" off of the end
of the md5sum.
