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.
