Thus spoke Hugo van der Merwe <hugovdm@mail.com> on 2001-08-24 10:58:54: > Debian needs a nice way to verify and "fix" packages, I feel. We do have > "debsums", but not all packages generate md5sums. Maybe I should start > filing bug reports against packages that don't have md5sums? (What > priority should that be?) > Wishlist, as last time I looked, they are not mandated by policy. > Another thing I would like to see, is a "force-install" on apt-get or > something... I want to reinstall a package sometimes, don't want to go > and download it by hand to be able to use dpkg -i ... > How about apt-get install --reinstall foo? Cheers, -- Gergely Nagy \ mhp/|8]
