I'd like to get a listing of all files on my filesystem that are not owned by any currently-installed packages. I need to specify which directories to exclude, such as /var, /proc, /dev, /tmp, etc. Is there a tool/utility to do that? I could write a script for it, but don't want to reinvent the wheel if there's already a way to see that information.

Try this script (not mine BTW):

that's cool.
maybe you could also implement a `--find-corrupted-pkgs` that checks the checksums of all files in packages.

Where would I get the list of checksums?
