Subject: dpkg: No option to rebuild /usr from /var/state Package: dpkg Version: 1.4.0.33
Hi! In a case when /usr is lost but /var/state has been preserved, I feel that all information needed to rebuild /usr is available. There should be an option for dpkg to re-install all packages that are known to be installed on this system.
