Hi community :)

I ran this on a standalone debian 8 appvm
apt-get purge python-numpy

Yes, I now know that is not the most cleaver command to run..

It resulted in the following packages got removed:
python-numpy python-qwt4-qt4 qubes-core-agent gimp gpsd-clients 
live-usb-install python-glade2 python-matplotlib qubes-gui-agent w3af 
python-kivy python-gtk2 python-scipy python-pygame

So now I can not boot that AppVM normally..

I can connect to it using: sudo xl console Lab  from dom0's console
and get a prompt (login as root) but I am missing the /rw directory and 
everything seems readonly (I wanted to reinstall the uninstalled packages)

When i try to run apt-get install (all the packages listed above) it just fails with 
"Unable to write to /var/cache/apt" because /var is not there and /rw is also 
not there.. :/
i am not an expert in this, but did you try to `sudo mkdir -p "/var/cache/apt"`?
maybe this allows you to re-install the packages.
