I must get back to this (a bit old) topic because I'm currently handling a 
z/Linux for which there is no chance to point at an up to date repository 
nor to refresh.
I wonder if exists some package able to compare what is installed towards 
what is supposed to be installed according to the Service Pack.

Thanks in advance for any hints or replies.
 
Cordiali saluti  / Best regards
