NAME¶
debsums_init - Initialize md5sums files for packages lacking them
SYNOPSIS¶
debsums_init
DESCRIPTION¶
debsums_init will look for packages that did not install their
md5sums files. Then, it will generate those
md5sums files from
the binary packages downloaded via APT if available.
This initialization process is needed since there are many packages which do not
ship
md5sums file in their binary packages. If you enable
auto-gen option while installing
debsum package, you need to run
this
debsums_init command only once after you install the
debsums package.
debsums_init needs to be invoked as superuser.
You may wish to clear local package cache prior to running
debsums_init
command to make sure you are creating from the untainted packages by
executing:
apt-get clean
