Somebody once posted a script with the following description: # $Id: dpkg-verify,v 1.4 1996-10-31 13:35:25-08 gobbel Exp $ # # dpkg-verify: Given a list of packages, check to see if any of their files # are missing. If so, optionally mark the associated package as requiring # reinstallation, and produce a report listing the missing files. Currently # no way to check that the files are actually correct, only that they exist. # NOTE: the "mark" option is currently unimplemented, and may be a bad idea. This isn't what you want, but perhaps suggests a method. The /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list files should be a list of all installed files. Comparing this to a listing of all the files in the potential install target directories that a debian installation normally uses would give a list of files for potential removal. Or some variation on this idea. ...RickM... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
