I tried that but got no match.
The man page talks about not showing files created by maintainer
scripts, which may be the case.  The file I am chasing is:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/hicolor-icon-theme.postinst

That'll be the post install script for the hicolor-icon-theme package.

cheers!

I checked for the file on a current Debian install, and it was there,
but dpkg did not know where it came from. It is a relatively short and
simple shell script, and I have attached a copy for you to compare.
Others might have comment about how your copy varies from what it should
be.

Thankyou. I actually have a good copy on the other Pi, but I'm more interested in how to manage this stuff. Ultimately I will blow this system away with a clone of the other one - there were about 8 altered characters in the file, so what other corruptions exist on the file system? I've got my replacement SD card from Patriot's warranty system, so it is just a matter of doing the transfer.
