After installing Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" inside a system running Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit edition with Service Pack 2 using Wubi, I decided to follow the instructions in ZDNet's article, How to lock down Linux (http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/how-to-lock-down-linux/9665?tag=nl.e550). It told me to input the following commands in a terminal window:
dpkg -l \*|while read s n rest; do if [ "$s" == "ii" ]; then echo $n;
fi; done > ~/tmp.txt
for f in `cat ~/tmp.txt`; do debsums -s -a $f; done
When I first tried this, it told me the program 'debsums' wasn't installed, so I used the command 'sudo apt-get install debsums' to install this program, and re-ran the above commands. When debsums was finished, it generated this output:

Surely this should not happen on a new Ubuntu installation out of the box! So what's the deal here?
