Hello folkis!
Sorry for this, but is there a way to do something like:
aptitude reinstall all
and the system reinstalls every package, that its database tells it, is on
the computer.
I just shredded my system a bit yesterday, removed part of /usr/lib. I fixed
it via the dirty road, but now I'd like to clean up.
So I'd like the system to reinstall all packages, currectly there.
thanks in advance for any good idea on this!
Warm regards
Julien

Julien,
I'm not sure how to do that for every package, but for a single
package you could do:
apt-get install --reinstall <pkgnam>
To find which packages are damaged and require re-installing you
could run:
debsums -s

This looks interesting, but has some requirements my system
doesn't seem to meet:
debsums -s
debsums: no md5sums for at
debsums: no md5sums for binutils
debsums: no md5sums for bzip2
debsums: no md5sums for cdda2wav
...
HTH,
Erik

You'll get this if the /var/lib/dpkg/info/$PACKAGENAME.md5sums file for
the package is missing. This might be caused by either very old
packages, or missing files in /var/lib/dpkg/info ... You might try
reinstalling the package. The command
debsums --list-missing
will show you which packages have no md5sums file. I've detected a few
just now, and they turned out to be old packages no longer available.
debsums is also potentially useful for detecting simplistic replacement
of files that may have been done maliciously. Which is another way of
saying that if you are intending to be malicious you might also re-write
the md5sums file as well. ;-(

And another one I recently discovered ... particularly relevant with
Debian where you could have a system that's been running for over a
decade ... grandfather's axe has had five new handles and two new heads,
but we still call it grandfather's axe ... is apt-show-versions ...
which can tell you what packages you are running that are *not* in the
current distribution. Those ones will be harder to reinstall ... you
have to find them in the archives, or remove the packages.
Oh, and backups are good ... backups you can recover from that is. ;-)

This might do it for you, Julien. I imagine it will be quite
time consuming...
dpkg --get-selections | awk '{print $1}' | xargs apt-get --yes --reinstall install

Hello Svend!
The site itself looks useable enough. And it seems there are some helpful
article among the big heap. Thanks!
Kindest regards
