I'm using a local mirror made from ftp.debian.org.  dpkg never gets a
chance to do the install.  I run "apt-get install doc-linux-html" and I
get the message:

It's been doing this for several days.  I'm not sure where it's getting
the MD5Sum to check against.  I'll try getting direct from the debian
mirror and see what happens.
