Can't reinstall missing init.d script
Hi. I would like to recover the /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh script that came with it's package, which according to 'dpkg -S' is initscripts. I hid the current checkfs.sh and ran apt-get --reinstall install initscripts seemingly successfully, but no new checkfs.sh was created. I also tried 'dpkg-reconfigure initscripts' but that didn't do anything. Etch Package: initscripts Version: 2.86.ds1-12 Thanks for your help.

You'd have to *purge* the initscript packages (which will *delete* all configuration files, so back any changes you did to them first!) then reinstall. /etc files are not regular files, and they get treated differently. dpkg and even an apt-get -reinstall won't resurrect a deleted conffile (/etc file).
