I would personally play with dpkg's database by hand, like so: for file in $(cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list) ; do isnotfile $file ; done Cheers, -- Steve I'm a doctor, not a doorstop - EMH, USS Enterprise -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
