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 .B rdebsums are sent to .BR debsums (1). .SH OPTIONS .TP .B --help Prints a short help text .TP .B --others Also runs .B debsums on Recommended and Suggested packages. .SH EXAMPLES Check the package .I aptitude and all its dependencies: .I rdebsums aptitude The same while being significantly less verbose .I rdebsums -s aptitude .SH BUGS .B rdebsums is quite slow - essentially due to .B dpkg-query not being extremely fast. Currently, .B rdebsums will be confused by virtual packages. .B --others is actually nearly useless, as you often end up checking nearly all packages. You'll most probably win time by running .B debsums without arguments. .SH AUTHOR .B rdebsums was written by Vincent Fourmond .SH SEE ALSO .BR debsums (1), \ dpkg-query (1)
