The Packages files in the distribution contain this information. A simple way to get them all is to "apt-get update" from a site you trust (temporarily remove all other entries from sources.list), and then look at /var/lib/dpkg/available. All packages should have an MD5sum field. (Note that you need to trust the site where you get the Packages files. I seem to remember reading from the Debian Weekly News a few months ago that someone is working on having cryptographically signed packages or Packages files, so this will probably get better in the future.) -- -=- Rjs -=- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
