PKG-CHECK(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual PKG-CHECK(8)
NAME pkg check - sanity check installed packages
SYNOPSIS pkg check -B|-d|-s|-r [-nqvy] -a pkg check -B|-d|-s|-r [-nqvy] [-Cgix] pattern
pkg check --{shlibs,dependencies,checksums,recompute} [--{dry-run,quiet,verbose,yes}] --all pkg check --{shlibs,dependencies,checksums,recompute} [--{dry-run,quiet,verbose,yes}] [--{case-sensitive,glob,case-insensitive,regex}] pattern
DESCRIPTION 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.
OPTIONS These options are supported by pkg check:
-a, --all Process all packages.
-B, --shlibs Regenerates the library dependency metadata for a package
-C, --case-sensitive Use case sensitive standard or regular expression (-x) matching with pattern.
-d, --dependencies Checks for and installs missing dependencies
-g, --glob Treat pattern as a shell glob pattern.
-i, --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.
-n, --dry-run Only check for missing dependencies, do not install them.
-r, --recompute Recalculates and sets the checksums of installed packages
that the command explicitly requests. This is primarily intended for scripting use.
-x, --regex Treat pattern as a regular expression, using the "modern" or "extended" syntax described in re_format(7).
-y, --yes Assume "yes" when asked for confirmation before installing missing dependencies.
ENVIRONMENT These environment variables affect the execution of pkg check. See pkg.conf(5) for additional information.
PKG_DBDIR
CASE_SENSITIVE_MATCH
FILES See pkg.conf(5).
EXAMPLES 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
