Salmi It is not clear what you are asking. Do you mean check for broken packages? I find this line in dpkg --help dpkg -C|--audit check for broken package(s) I used this on my home 2.0 system with the following results: Bilbo:/etc/chatscripts# dpkg -C The following packages have been unpacked but not yet configured. They must be configured using dpkg --configure or the configure menu option in dselect for them to work: w3-el Hypertext (World Wide Web) browser for emacs. emacs20-el GNU Emacs LISP (.el) files. The following packages are only half configured, probably due to problems configuring them the first time. The configuration should be retried using dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect: emacs20 The GNU Emacs editor. --David David Teague, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian GNU/Linux Because software support is free, timely, useful, technically accurate, and friendly.
