I had a filesystem crash that damaged a few files. dpkg wouldn't run after this, complaining about errors. (dselect was running at the time of the crash)
I was able to fix /var/lib/dpkg/info/available because there was a backup. But some other files was ruined, such as emacs19.list and ed.list dpkg would not run because of that, so I moved the offending files away from the directory. dpkg is now usable, but complains that these files are missing. Can I restore them in any way, without reinstalling debian? Helge Hafting
