Apt notification tool

We plan to add a utility to the Q4OS updater that would check the consistency of Apt and Dpkg data at regular intervals, for example once a week. If a problem is found, it will try to fix it or notify the user with an icon in the system tray. This could be quite handy Does anyone know of something similar on Linux ? Any suggestions are welcome.

Re: Apt notification tool

What comes to mind is debsums and part of it was brought into dpkg for the option  --verify so have you tried:

 dpkg -verify package.deb 

Otherwise something like this would check for things already installed:

 dpkg -l | awk '/^ii/ { print $2 }' | xargs debsums
