I got an off list from peter suggesting:

dpkg --get-selections | grep install | cut -f1 | xargs apt-get install
--reinstall

gave me this:

dpkg --get-selections | grep install | cut -f1 | xargs dpkg -L  | grep
-v \'| xargs -n 1 isnotfile

This is flaky because in gcc-3.4 there is 64 bit files that are
obviously not installed in mine and also the files do not always have
correct paths.

isnotfile is a script:

#!/bin/sh

if [ ! -e $1 ] ; then
        echo $1 does not exist
fi
