I'm trying to get rid of --control-path (see man page), so I'd rather not add similar things as supported interfaces. :) > I'm trying to build something similar to the cruft(-ng) package to find non > package files. Would that be a feature for dpkg? I had a branch that extends «dpkg --audit» with checks for unknown database files under /var/lib/dpkg/, replicating in a built-in way what the dpkg postinst script is currently doing (for that one-time db recovery code). I guess that could be extended further to also check for stuff under /var/lib/dpkg/info/. What are the checks you had in mind? Whether there are files there for packages not currently preset? Perhaps also for files that should not be present for say a package in config-files state? Anything else? Thanks, Guillem
