Re: fatal: serious inflate inconsistency

Hello Linus,

It passes smaller clones fine with ElectricFence (and bigger ones fail 
because EF uses *so* much memory for its checking that you cannot actually 
complete them), so I don't think this is a git bug. Sounds like either the 
hw problems are real, or there is some zlib (or other library) issue..

I have a very similar machine. For this one it works. It has 32 bit kernel and
userland. Debian etch again. v2.6.20.

Does someone know a command for debian that checks the checksums for every
installed packages and the file that are included in that package?
I know there is one for rpm so there must be one for debian, too.
