I rewrote my package database consistency check script. It now reads all data directly from the db.tar.gz files (it doesn't read the filename attribute name yet, and still assumes pkgname-pkgver-pkgrel.pkg.tar.gz). It checks whether all packages in the db are present and have correct md5sums. The script is now in arch/scripts/check-package-db-consistency.sh in CVS. Here is the result:

Can it be added to pacman git too? I think something like repo-check would be nice companion to repo-add/repo-remove.

We could at least put it in the contrib/ folder. -Dan
