  • Stephen, I used to have localepurge installed, but right now I don't. I must have lost it when I did a fresh upgrade. I don't want to reinstall it to test. So, my question is, is this output for debsums normal if localepurge is used? And thanks for the dpkg config tips, it looks useful. Commented May 6, 2016 at 15:44
  • @Faheem, it depends on how localepurge is set up; but if it's still installed and configured, debsums is supposed to take it into account. If Baobab was used instead, the output in the question makes sense. Commented May 6, 2016 at 16:06
  • The approach you mention makes localpurge obsolete though, right? Commented May 6, 2016 at 16:07
  • @Faheem, yes, it does (and it's better since it doesn't involve installing files then deleting them). Commented May 6, 2016 at 16:27
