pkg check — sanity check installed packages

pkg check [-Bdsr] [-nqvy] [-a | -Cgix pattern]


pkg check [--{shlibs,dependencies,checksums,recompute}] [--{dry-run,quiet,verbose,yes}] [--all | --{case-sensitive,glob,case-insensitive,regex} pattern]

pkg check -B or pkg check --shlibs regenerates the library dependency metadata for a package by extracting library requirement information from the binary ELF files in the package.

pkg check -d or pkg check --dependencies checks for and installs missing dependencies.

pkg check -r or pkg check --recompute recalculates and sets the checksums of installed packages. This command should only be used when the administrator has made modifications that invalidate a package checksum. Spontaneous checksum problems can indicate data or security problems.

pkg check -s or pkg check --checksums detects installed packages with invalid checksums. An invalid checksum can be caused by data corruption or tampering.

These options are supported by pkg check:

, --all
Process all packages.
, --case-sensitive
Use case sensitive standard or regular expression (-x) matching with pattern.
, --glob
Treat pattern as a shell glob pattern.
, --case-insensitive
Use case insensitive standard or regular expression (-x) matching with pattern. This is the default unless CASE_SENSITIVE_MATCH has been set to true in pkg.conf.
, --dry-run
Only check for missing dependencies, do not install them.
, --verbose
Be verbose.
, --quiet
Suppress most output, except for error messages and data that the command explicitly requests. This is primarily intended for scripting use.
, --regex
Treat pattern as a regular expression, using the "modern" or "extended" syntax described in re_format(7).
, --yes
Assume "yes" when asked for confirmation before installing missing dependencies.

These environment variables affect the execution of pkg check. See pkg.conf(5) for additional information.

 
 

See pkg.conf(5).

Regenerate the library dependency metadata of all installed packages from the library information in each package's binary ELF files:

pkg check -Ba

Test for missing dependencies needed by nano, installing any that are missing:

pkg check -d nano

Test the checksums of all installed packages to make sure none are corrupted:

pkg check -sa
