	[OT] Debian reinstall...? by Julien Claassen :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message 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!

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 > Warm regards > Julien -- Joel Roth _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@... http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user

	Re: [OT] Debian reinstall...? by James Cameron :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message 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. ;-) -- James Cameron mailto:quozl@... http://quozl.netrek.org/ _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@... http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user

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. ;-( -- James Cameron mailto:quozl@... http://quozl.netrek.org/ _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@... http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
