Hello, Attached below is a tiny awk(1) program which will extract the md5sum information of all the packages listed in a Packages file. The output is in a format fit for "md5sum -c".
I cound't find such a functionality in any of the Debian package manuals so I hope this helps others. (it found least 5 corrupted files in my local mirror of buzz-fixed, I'm re-copying these files to see if the problem is local to my copy). Cheers, --Amos --Amos Shapira | "Of course Australia was marked for | glory, for its people had been chosen [EMAIL PROTECTED] | by the finest judges in England." | -- Anonymous ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/awk -f $1 == "filename:" { file = $2 } $1 == "md5sum:" { md5sum = $2 } NF == 0 { print md5sum, "", file; md5sum = ""; file = ""; } ----------------------------------------------------------------------
