Do an "apt-cache show debsums" to see if it's exactely what you are looking for Also, check the debian reference guide. (slowly turning into the debian bible :-) http://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals#quick-reference http://qref.sourceforge.net/ ======================= snip ====================== 6.3.14 Verify installed package files debsums enables verification of installed package files against MD5 checksums. Some packages do not have available MD5 checksums. A possible temporary fix for sysadmins: # cat >>/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90debsums DPkg::Post-Install-Pkgs {"xargs /usr/bin/debsums -sg";}; ^D per Joerg Wendland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (untested). ======================= snip ====================== -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
