Bug#47839: Work-around to "recreate" .list file

[JP Vossen]

Work-around to "recreate" .list file

WORK-AROUND: to re-create the .list file, where the broken package is
"update-manager" and a local copy exists in the cache.

# dpkg --no-debsig --no-triggers --force-all -r update-manager
# dpkg --no-debsig --no-triggers --force-all -i
/var/cache/apt/archives/update-manager_1%3a0.126.6_all.deb
# aptitude reinstall update-manager

I'm not 100% sure that both --no-debsig and --no-triggers are necessary;
I had them so I used them.  Note that technically I was on an Ubuntu
Karmic system, but in theory this should work fine for Debian too.

Substitute 'apt-get' instead of 'aptitude' if that's what you normally use.
