I have "lost" my /var/lib/dpkg/available and /var/lib/dpkg/status files in a FS error. Beyond the actual errors themselves, how do I recover/regenerate these files? I poked in the archives and found some resounding answers saying "Um, no", but I'm hoping I can hack on it. I have said files on other boxes, of fairly similar configuration. Can I hack on those files to get them into a working configuration? I'm loathe to reinstall, as the archives say I should, because I've had my laptop running beautifully for many months now and I have things just as I like them. Any ideas? Pointers? Help?
