NAME

finddisowned — find files that are disowned by package manager

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The finddisowned utility lists the files that are disowned by package manager. In particular, it compares the package database with contents of the directories described in /etc/finddisowned.conf.

finddisowned does not compare the package database with the entire file system, but only with files from directories described in /etc/finddisowned.conf because the entire file system contains directories such as /home, /mnt and even dynamic directories like /proc, /dev, etc, the contents of which are definitely not taken into account (and should not be) by package manager.

Feel free to adjust the configuration file (/etc/finddisowned.conf) conform your needs.

The options are as follows:

-c conffile, --config=conffile

Specify an alternate configuration file instead of the default /etc/finddisowned.conf.

-r rootdir, --root=rootdir

Specify an alternate root directory instead of the default ‘/’.

-v, --version

Print version and exit.

-h, --help

Print help and exit.

FILES

/var/lib/pkg/db

System package database.

/etc/finddisowned.conf
