Hi, while running X and Netscape my computer decide of its own acord to suddenly reboot.
this caused me to get errors on reboot abought problems in the /etc/rc* directorys as well as a bad bash binary the core dumped (or something) when it was called on startup. so I opted to reinstall the base system off my disks.... well that overwrote my /var/lib/dpkg/status file ... and I can't uninstall any of my old packages now ... my question is this is there a way to tell dpkg to look though the HD and find all the packages and then update the status file?
