In the process of installing a tape drive so I could back up /etc and my
dpkg selections, I've managed to hose /etc ... just the top-level
directory; all the subdirectories are fine.
Is there some way (once I get a passwd file back, probably by copying
over the passwd file from a rescue disk and then addusering for a while)
to get dpkg to reinstall _just_ the /etc/ files from each of the packages
listed as installed? Then, is there some way to get it to run all the
postinst scripts?
Will
