Feature changed by: Elmar Stellnberger ATK (estellnb) Feature #306655, revision 3 Title: zypper: new command needed openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Sascha Manns (saigkill) Description: Today my X-System crashed. So i become an Idea. It would be graeat, if we can implement an Function in zypper, who search the whole RPM- Database, and detects Errors with the installed Packages. And if he found Errors, that he connects to the Net and reinstalls the broken Packages. Discussion: #1: Rémy Marquis (spyhawk) (2009-07-06 12:20:26) I don't quite follow you. Is the requested feature different from the "zypper verify" command ? + #2: Elmar Stellnberger ATK (estellnb) (2009-07-06 13:40:11) + Yip; this sounds quite like a request for a tool that I have recently + implemented: + http://wwwu.edu.uni-klu.ac.at/estellnb/checkroot/ + That one comes out of a security context and can even prevent a cracker + from hiding his traces to file changes. However the tool is still under + developement (especially the re-dld feature). Perhaps you wanna give it + a try (or wait vor v1.0). + A totally different approach to your request would be feature 306508. + Such md5sum lists could directly determine illegally aletered files + wherupon applying an rpm -qf on these files would give you a list of + packages to be reinstalled. + + #3: Elmar Stellnberger ATK (estellnb) (2009-07-06 13:40:34) + https://features.opensuse.org/306508 (link to md5sum feature). + #4: Elmar Stellnberger ATK (estellnb) (2009-07-06 13:41:52) + vote for it! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306655
