check installed packages integrity? [Solved - script inside]

Hi,

is it possible to check installed packages for integrity - i.e. missing/changed files, etc. I looked at pacman man, but found nothing ...

#!/bin/bash

PACKAGE = $1

for file in $( pacman -Ql ${PACKAGE} | cut -d' ' -f2 ); do
  if [ "${test:$(( ${#test} - 1 ))" == "/" ]; then 
    if [ ! -d ${file} ]; then
      echo "Directory missing: ${file}"
    fi
  else
    if [ ! -f ${file} ]; then
      echo "File missing: ${file}"
    fi
  fi
done

might work to check for missing files, but i've got no way to test this as i'm not at home... Maybe someone else can spot some problems?

it should work like this:

# paccheck [packagename]

Untested...

[edit]: pacman -Ql instead of -QL
[edit2]: take 2nd field of output from pacman -Ql.

Have you coded these lines right now?

nice idea

i'm not a bash wizard, so i used awk, this looks to be working:

#!/bin/bash

PACKAGE=$1

for file in $( pacman -Ql ${PACKAGE} | awk '{print $2}'); do
      if [ "${test:$(( ${#test} - 1 ))}" == "/" ]; then
              if [ ! -d ${file} ]; then
                        echo "Directory missing: ${file}"
              fi
      else
              if [ ! -f ${file} ]; then
                        echo "File missing: ${file}"
              fi
      fi
done

...and this will check all installed packages:

for p in `pacman -Q | awk '{print $1}'`; do bash paccheck.bash $p; done

dang... you're right... fix in original script...

i had no connection to home, so i checked the filelists at the arch-homepage...

does pacman -Ql ever output directory-entries? Or is it only filenames?
If it's only filenames, we could make the script a bit simpler

looks like only files...

I'm wondering the same, see the beginning of my comment there:

I guess it uses a directory name for empty directories that are required, so the [ ! -d ] check is still valid...

I'm glad i'm doing the opposite of what you're trying to do... That looks a bit more hairy.

Oh no, finally it's a little bug in pacman (src/pacman/package.c)

225     if(!stat(path, &buf) && S_ISDIR(buf.st_mode)) {
226       /* if we stat it and it is a dir, don't print */
227     } else {
228       fprintf(stdout, "%s %s\n", pkgname, path);
229     }

If a directory doesn't exist, or is only readable by root, it can't stat it and detect it's a directory, so it'll print it
As root, the only directory it prints is the one which doesn't exist, ie /tmp/ttf-ms-fonts/
because of the special status of the ttf-ms-fonts package.
And as user, it also prints /var/spool/cups/tmp/ , because it doesn't have the right to stat it I guess.

I'm glad i'm doing the opposite of what you're trying to do... That looks a bit more hairy.

lol indeed, that's why I gave up
