/var/lib/dpkg, too. It's pretty hard to recover from that if you don't have backups, although you may well find a copy of /var/lib/dpkg/status lying around in /var/backups. You could use that to at least recover information about package states. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
