Sorry, I should have been more specific - I need to audit all of the installed packages on my system (massive file system corruption). I'm assuming that dpkg knows the size and permissions (not as important) of a file after it's been installed, so need to compare the existing file to what it was originally when installed. I'd found a command-line piped together a week or so ago that does this, but I can't for the life of me find it again.
