RDEBSUMS(1)							 Recursive debsums						       RDEBSUMS(1)

NAME
       rdebsums - a recursive debsums

SYNOPSIS
       rdebsums --help	| [  debsum options  ] [  --others  ] package

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).

OPTIONS
       --help Prints a short help text

       --others
	      Also runs debsums on Recommended and Suggested packages.

EXAMPLES
       Check the package aptitude and all its dependencies:

       rdebsums aptitude

       The same while being significantly less verbose

       rdebsums -s aptitude

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.
