So, I've been having troubles recently with finding the /var partition being too small and needing to purge stuff from it to allow processes to work properly, etc. I intend to do a fresh install to a SSD with a bigger /var to avoid this, however in the meantime until I do this I seem to have deleted something I shouldn't (oops!) and broken a package called cacti.
I get the following errors if I try to do any upgrades or try to remove the cacti package (in the hopes of removing the problems). dpkg -r cacti dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'cinnamon-session' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed missing; assuming package has no files currently installed dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'libmtp-runtime' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed ckage has no files currently installed dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'rtkit' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'libstreamanalyzer0' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'qtmultimedia5-dev:amd64' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'libgucharmap-2-90-7' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed -- lots more of similar cut -- dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'libavahi-core7:amd64' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed (Reading database ... 12814 files and directories currently installed.)

Thanks in advance, Kelly
