This is probably a dumb question, but I figure there should be an answer, and I couldn't find it.
When hacking on a scratch box, I had /usr on /dev/hdc1, and /usr/share on /dev/hda4 as /misc/share with a symlink... I then added a big drive, and moved /usr onto it. And forgot to move /usr/share onto it before hosing /dev/hda4. I realised because my next apt-get upgrade gave some ... interesting ... errors, and all sorts of things had vanished. dpkg --audit didn't help much. I did a search on debian.org for "verify packages" and other related things, but still didn't get any sign of what I wanted: * how do I get dpkg to check the manifest list of the installed packages against the files installed, and reinstall the missing ones? * Or should I just hack something up and submit it somewhere? (I eventually tar'd /usr/share from another box and untar'd it on the scratch box. Seems okay, but we'll see) cheers, Rich. -- rich walker no-work anarcho and stuff his signature file no content yet no vanity website
