Due to a combination of fiddling and finger-trouble I have contrived to
delete part of my /var partition. Unfortunately, I have never thought to
back up /var, being transient data... Big mistake!
Anyway, the most pressing problem at the moment is that apt fails, due
to missing status data:
E: Could not open file /var/lib/dpkg/status - open (2: No such file or
directory)
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
How do I recover from this?
