| 239188 | 2004-05-25 04:46:00 | Greetings, I've basically crashed my Laptop (Hardare still faulty) while downloading, and I screwed /var/lib/dpkg/available and a few other files in that directory. I tried copying /var/lib/dpkg from a friends PC, however that was a mistake, now it thinks that I've got half the OS installed when I only did a Minimal install... Any ideas on how to rebuild the list of apps that I actually _do_ have installed, or has somebody got a minimal install they can send me the /var/lib/dpkg folder of? Many thanks Chill. |

| 239189 | 2004-05-25 06:34:00 | Hi Chill Do you still have a backup dpkg status file called status-old in /var/lib/dpkg? I found two articles which may help here (linuxworld.com) and 6.2.7 Rescue system after erasing /var (www.pdxlinux.org). Hope one of these works for you. Unfortunately my Xandros is not a minimal install. :) |
