well, if you rm'ed /usr/share p.e. just run apt-get --reinstall install `dpkg -S /usr/share | sed -e 's/,//g' -e 's/:.*$//'` if you want to reinstall all installed software, i'd try something like apt-get --reinstall `dpkg --get-selections | grep install | grep -v deinstall | cut -d' ' -f1` Shell scripting is great ;) Greetings, Erich
