This way proved to be too quick, trying to reinstall removed but not
purged packages with init.d scripts left behind in /etc/init.d/. I
recommend using something like this instead, to only reinstall the
installed packages:
for p in `dpkg -S /etc/init.d/*|cut -d: -f1|sort -u`; do
if dpkg --get-selections $p | grep -qw install ; then
echo reinstalling $p
apt-get --reinstall install $p
fi
done
I dropped the '-y' flag too, to leave more manual control over the
process, after a report from a user getting a lot of KDE removed when
the removed fam package tried to reinstall and throw out KDE.
Friendly,
