G'day all,

FYI.
I have been looking for a package that will check all installed files 
against their original md5's stored in the debian packages.

debsums will check everything installed from debs for corruption.

Neato. I had a couple of filesystem errors and found a binary corrupted, 
so I went looking and found debsums.

After it telling me I had a couple of corrupt files, a
apt-get --reinstall install <debs here>

Problem solved.

Hope this helps someone.

Brad
