I tried to replace the following missing files,
/etc/hotplug/usb/libgphoto2 /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/libsane
using the following (correct) commands:
apt-get --reinstall install libsane apt-get --reinstall install libgphoto2-2
The commands ran without evident error, but neither missing file was replaced. dpkg -P followed by apt-get install replaced the missing files.
Either there is a bug somewhere (but where?) or I am missunderstanding something. Any help is appreciated.
I haven't looked at those packages, so this is just a guess, but it's likely that those files are marked as conffiles in the packages, and are therefore not going to be installed more than once. You might want to try apt-get remove --purge <packages> and then do the reinstall.
