NAME

       debsums_init - Initialize md5sums files for packages lacking them

SYNOPSIS

       debsums_init

DESCRIPTION

       debsums_init  will  look  for  packages  that did not install their md5sums files. Then, it will generate
       those md5sums files from the binary packages downloaded via APT if available.

       This initialization process is needed since there are many packages which do not  ship  md5sums  file  in
       their  binary  packages.   If you enable auto-gen option while installing debsum package, you need to run
       this debsums_init command only once after you install the debsums package.

       debsums_init needs to be invoked as superuser.

       You may wish to clear local package cache prior to running debsums_init command  to  make  sure  you  are
       creating from the untainted packages by executing:

            apt-get clean
