Exception
Verifying contents of files installed from packages is more difficult
in Ubuntu, mainly due to the lack of an equivalent of
rpm -V
. The debsums
package installs the
debsums
command and that can be used to look for files that
have changed since the package was installed.
However, not all packages have MD5 checksums for all files and
debsums
doesn't do detailed checking like rpm
.
Deployers are urged to run debsums -c
to review changes
made to files on their systems. This report takes a long time to run on
most systems.
