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.
