Hola~
The motherboard on my Dell Inspiron 8000 died, and was replaced. After fsck
cleaned up the drive, dpkg was failing:
% dpkg -l g++\*
dpkg-query: failed to open package info file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' for
reading: No such file or directory
A version of it was in lost+found. I moved the version from lost+found back to
"/var/lib/dpkg/status". dpkg lists packages now. apt-cache update looks like
it works.
I guess I'm a bit nervous of the integrity of the status file. Is there any
way to verify the status file?
