dpkg-verify?
Hello collegues,
I recently saw this on debian-user and found it an interesting idea
to look at:
------- Forwarded Message
This question is to the dpkg team. Is there plans to add a verification
feature to dpkg like the one that is found in RPM? This is very handy,
especially for new users, who might accidentally or incidentally delete
files. If a problem crops up later that seems to involve certain packages,
we could then easily check that all the files are present and the
permissions are correct.

I'm not sure if I understand the verification feature correctly, but I
assume
that he want's to check a package vs the current installation against:
a) missing files
b) wrong permissions
c) wrong sizes/date stamps/link counts
Now, a casual look into /var/lib/dpkg/info left me with the impression that
dpkg doesn't record this things in its status area. Ian, is this right?
