Bug#607625: apt: no way to verify an individual downloaded
Package: apt
Version: 0.7.20.2+lenny2
Severity: normal
Hello,
in the light of DSA 2134-1, I would really like to see an easy way to
manually verify a downloaded package. Currently, neither dpkg, apt nor
aptitude appear to have such functionality, but using apt or aptitude is
not always possible (at least, I often need to bypass them).
Kind regards,
