rdebsums - a recursive debsums
Contents
Bugs
rdebsums is quite slow - essentially due to dpkg-query not being extremely fast.
Currently, rdebsums will be confused by virtual packages.
--others is actually nearly useless, as you often end up checking nearly all packages. You'll most
probably win time by running debsums without arguments.
Description
rdebsums runs debsums(1) over a given package and all its dependencies. It can be used to make sure a problem with a package is not due to file corruption. All but the last element of the command-line and options understood by rdebsums are sent to debsums(1).
Examples
Check the package aptitude and all its dependencies:
rdebsumsaptitude
The same while being significantly less verbose
rdebsums-saptitudeName
rdebsums - a recursive debsums
Options
--help Prints a short help text
--others
