Package: dpkg Version: 1.17.5 Severity: wishlist dpkg's manpage hints on the meaning of the output of dpkg --verify:
The only currently supported output format is rpm, which consists of a line for every path that failed any check. The lines start with 9 characters to report the specific check results, a '?' implies the check could not be done (lack of support, file permissions, etc), '.' implies the check passed, and an alphanumeric character implies a specific check failed; the only functional check is an md5sum verification denoted with a '5' on the third character. The line is followed by a space and an attribute character (currently 'c' for conffiles), another space and the pathname.
On my system, the rpm format gives:
# dpkg --verify ??5?????? c /etc/sane.d/dll.conf ??5?????? c /etc/init.d/stop-bootlogd ??5?????? c /etc/init.d/stop-bootlogd-single ??5?????? c /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf ??5?????? c /etc/apache2/ports.conf ??5?????? c /etc/mediawiki/apache.conf ??5?????? c /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php ??5?????? c /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc ??5?????? c /etc/apache2/conf.d/security ??5?????? c /etc/apache2/conf.d/localized-error-pages ??5?????? c /etc/apache2/conf.d/other-vhosts-access-log ??5?????? c /etc/apache2/conf.d/charset ??5?????? c /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl ??5?????? c /etc/apache2/sites-available/default ??5?????? c /etc/apache2/mods-available/disk_cache.conf ??5?????? c /etc/apache2/mods-available/authn_default.load ??5?????? c /etc/apache2/mods-available/ident.load ??5?????? c /etc/apache2/mods-available/authz_default.load ??5?????? c /etc/apache2/mods-available/mem_cache.load ??5?????? c /etc/apache2/mods-available/mem_cache.conf ??5?????? c /etc/apache2/mods-available/disk_cache.load ??5?????? c /etc/apache2/mods-available/cern_meta.load ??5?????? c /etc/apache2/mods-available/authn_alias.load ??5?????? c /etc/apache2/mods-available/imagemap.load ??5?????? c /etc/bash_completion.d/apache2.2-common
It would help understand what is wrong if the output explained why a check failed, or if the manpage documented what the third check does. -- Filipus Klutiero http://www.philippecloutier.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
