- checking all packages in a distribution have a source package in that

i.e. what 'reprepro sourcemissing' does (introduced in 4.3.0)?
I can't find a reference to this action in the manpage.
I think you only have 4.2.0 installed. It's only available since 4.3.0.
- checking everything can be get from some other distribution/remote?
i.e. something like temporarily chaning the update/pull rule to start
with a delete rule ("-") and running checkpull/checkupdate and only
showing which packages would be deleted?
- something else?
what should it check for?
Basically it is a tool for checking that the local db/packages.db is in
synchronization with the Packages file(s) on the master repository if
exact synchronization is desired. Or how they differ if differences are
part of the local repo. (I'm assuming the Packages files are a reference
point since they are downloaded when (re)building the db/packages.db
file.) The local version of the Packages file(s) apparently are built
from the information in the db/packages.db file (and possibly other
databases).
That sounds a bit like the above. Could you try if that is what you
want? (i.e. add a '-' as first part of Update:, run checkupdate and
remove the '-' again).
Okay, but it'll have to wait until I get my NAS device upgraded. I'm
doing them one at a time in case of issues and they are slow devices.
Another NAS device is being upgraded right now, the device hosting the
repository is next in line. Also, I'm assuming that 4.3.0 is part of
squeeze which will then be part of the normal upgrade.
