Well, I went through my pool carefully and it seems like the error
effects close to HALF of my pool files. This is a real mess and PITA.
BUT, I wrote a perl routine that goes through the pool and/or cpool
and corrects all the entries. Specifically, it
1. Goes through the pool and calculates the actual MD5sum path for the
file (using my zFile2MD5 routine if it is in the cpool which avoids
decompressing the entire file).
2. If the calculated partial file MD5sum differs from the current
filename, then the routine finds the first empty spot in the chain
of the corrected MD5sum. If there is already a chain there (of at
least one file), the routine compares files (again using my faster
zcompare routine if compressed) to see if there already is a
match. If there is a match, then it is flagged for later correction
by a program like my BackupPC_fixLinks.pl program. While strictly
speaking there is no danger in having more than one copy of the
same file in a chain (and it is necessary when nlinks > MAXLINKS),
it is not efficient, so it is detected and flagged. Note ,though,
in general you shouldn't have many such collisions since if the
MD5sum was broken once it was probably broken the whole time
(unless you switched back and forth between broken and non-broken
Perl versions)
3. The program then renames (i.e. moves) the file and intelligently
fills in any holes in the old chain in a way that minimizes chain
renumbering and that preserves the relative ordering of chain
numbering.
Note the routine can in general be used to check and fix the
integrity of the pool/pool so it may be more generally useful
The program uses routines from my jLib.pm module and requires the
latest version that I have not yet posted (but will email if anybody
needs it).
Here though is the perl code for the routine itself:

DESCRIPTION:
Find and fix md5sum pool name errors in pool and cpool
DETAILS:
Recurses through pool and cpool trees to test if the md5sum name of each
pool file is correct relative to the file data. If not, the program attempts
to rename (i.e. move) it to its proper md5sum name.
If there already are pool files with the new name, then move it to
the end of the target chain. After removing, renumber the source
chain (if needed) to fill in holes left by the move. Note that the relative
ordering of each chain is preserved.
If the contents of the file match the contents of any of the files in the
target chain, note the duplicate suffix numbers.
If the --nodups|-n flag is set then don\'t rename the pool file in this case
and just note where it would have gone if there were no chain dups.
Note: it is not generally an error to have two pool entries in the same
chain with the same data (in fact, it occurs intentionally when you exceed
MAX LINKS), it just may waste some space. My routine BackupPC_fixLinks.pl
can correct just such duplicates later if that is an issue.
In any case, if all your misnumbering was consistent you won\'t have this
situation anyway.
<outfile> records all the changes made plus appends a status code:
FIXED = pool file moved/renamed and original chain renumbered if needed.
DUPS(n1,n2,n3) = Signals duplicates in the target chain and lists the
suffixes (-1 = no suffix)
Whether or not file was actually moved
in this case
(and hence whether the mdsum was fixed) depends on the
value of the --nodups flag.
NO_RENAME = Signals error in renaming/moving the pool file. The mdsum name
was thus not corrected.
NO_RENUMBER = The pool file was renamed/moved *but* error in renumbering the
source chain to fill in the hole left by the move.
