The sce-pkgcheck command is not included in a default install. It must be installed separately from the dCore repository using sce-import sce-pkgcheck. It is useful to confirm packages and repository of origin (ie. main, security, extra, dCore prebuilt, metapackage). It is also useful to check packages imported via list files. Run ''sce-import --help'' and review sce-import -l LISTFILE for more information.

Note dependency list files on the dCore server will have dependencies that may not exist in the particular dCore variant being run. For example, if a package in dCore-wheezy needs libgcc-4.7 and dCore-trusty needs libgcc-4.8 then both are present in the dCore server's dependency list. This same logic is used when processing the list (*.lst) files.

Usage options from the 'sce-pkgcheck –help' command:

sce-pkgcheck - Check individual PKG (package) to confirm name and repository of
               origin, including PKGs not currently installed. Can also check
               PKGs from SCE list file(s) located in /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/sce/
               (eg. typo in list file). Results echoed to /tmp/.pkgcheck.
               May use option combinations (eg. sce-pkgcheck -paq).
               Run 'sce-import --help' regarding list files.
Usage:
sce-pkgcheck PKG         Update DEBINX, confirm the PKG and repository.
sce-pkgcheck -p PKG      Preserve DEBINX, confirm the PKG and repository.
sce-pkgcheck -q PKG      Quiet mode, update DEBINX, terminal output only if PKG
                         not available, full output echoed to /tmp/.pkgcheck.
sce-pkgcheck -l SCE.lst  Check PKGs in specific SCE directory list file.
sce-pkgcheck -a          Check PKGs in all SCE directory list files.
