debcheck/rpmcheck
Note: there is also a tool at http://qa.debian.org/debcheck.php called debcheck. However it does not seem to take into account the full complexity of the problem. debcheck and rpmcheck are two variants of a tool that checks whether all packages of a distribution can be installed. Rpmcheck can deal with Mandriva hdlist.cz files while debcheck can handle a pool of debian packages. It is available from the EDOS svn repository in directory: users/vouillon. A typical usage is the following, which checks all packages in the input hdlist.cz file, reports failures and provides a short explanation:zcat hdlist.cz | ./rpmcheck -failures -explain
