How to separate "good" .debs from broken ones

sensovision · 06-22-2004, 10:52 PM

I've partially downloaded two disks with jidgo and now got some .deb packages broken and some work ones, is there a way to split good from bad ones? As I can't download the rest of CD right now but wish to use packages for local repository but won't broken packages to use up HD space. If I understand correctly when dpkg-scanpackages do it's job it take only working .debs but I still not sure how to use this data for killing broken ones, anyone could help?
Thanks!

DEBIAN SID = DEBIAN UNSTABLE
which means the system can break...but you can fix it...or wait for them to fix it.

yeah, I know that still in development mean that I shouldn't expect much, but actually this times it's not matter of SID as it could happen in Woody as well, I just have no possibility to download debs once again, and thought that I could split them somehow(automatically) as manually it would take a lot of time. Maybe there are some tool which could help me?
