Are there any console-only alternatives to the fslint package in Ubuntu? I don't want to install x11-common, fonts and many of the other dependencies required by it on a server system.



Note: this is not just about finding duplicates. fslint offers all kinds of fine features to fix broken file/folder names, for example.
