Scanning for unpackaged files



Hi all,

I am looking for a way to find any files on my system in certain directories (such as /usr/lib, ...) that have NOT been installed by a package. I know about debsums but that only tells me if packaged files have been modified.

I probably could write a script to do it something like this (pseudo code).
   for all installed packages:
       dpkg -L >> all_packaged_files
find > all_files
   sort all_packaged_files
   sort all_files
   diff all_packaged_files all_files

But before I go and do this does anyone know of an existing tool I could use?

Thanks,

Martin
