I re-installed the textutils package, and /bin/md5sum.exe is back. Is that a clue? Based on the tarballs in my download directory, I have installed both 1.10.4-1 and then 1.10.4-2 releases of the "dpkg" package. Is that the crux of the problem? The "-1" release had the clashing md5sum binary and the uninstall of the "-1" that was part of the "-2" install / upgrade left me without the file (/bin/md5sum.exe) that overlapped the textutils and the dpkg 1.10.4-1 packages?
