I have done the same lately on /usr. Very funny. The possible solutions as I can see are: = if you have a backup - restore it. Preferred way I afraid. Did not work for me because daily potato upgrades. = if you have Tripware installed - there is a check for permissions as well. Does not work for me as well because reason above (very frequent updates). = Using existed Tripware database and perl/bash script to recover permissions only. Occasionally I have no time to find out the format of Tripware database and make script. Have someone done it already ? = The way I am going to use - reinstall Potato as soon as it will be released. It should be OK for my test computer. And it also remove a lot of garbage from dpkg/apt status file. Please correct me if I missed one way. --- Regards, Pavel Epifanov.
