rescan is exactly that, it's like dpkg --forget-old-unavail; dpkg
--clear-avail; dselect update when you see "Information about 1583
packages read in 4 seconds." it's running a scan, rescan well i think you
can figure it out
check or validate is mostly only for developpers no real use to an average
user
other then the scanpackages which I agree should at list be described in
the man pages there is nothing of real interest here.
