no, you need to reinstall its dependencies, most likely.
My bash/sed/awk foo is pretty weak, but this produces what I think are
the desired results:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache show inkscape | grep -i depends | sed -e
's/,/\n/g' -e 's/Depends://' | awk ' {print $1} ' | xargs aptitude -s
reinstall
note that's all on one line and I've left in the aptitude -s parameter
to simulate the reinstall. It looks pretty good to me. Maybe florian
or some other awk/sed junky can clean that up for me.
A
ps. what it does: shows the description of inkscape, greps out the
depends line, turns the commas into newlines and gets rid of the work
"Depends:", selects just the name of the package, not the version
numbers, and pipes it all to aptitude reinstall.
