Hi, all:
I mis-deleted /usr/local/bin directory in my FreeBSD. How can I restore it?
There isn't a way to restore unless you have a backup. However, most
of the binary files in /usr/local/bin are from packages/ports you have
installed on your system. So you may be able to get away with using
portupgrade(/usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade) to re-install those
packages and therefore "restoring" some if not all of /usr/local/bin.
Do a portupgrade -f -a which forces portupgrade to re-install all
packages/ports you have currently installed.
Nelis,
First I think he might have to go re-install portupgrade.
Xu--as root, perform the following steps:
cd /tmp
tar cvf etc.tar /usr/local/etc/
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade
make install && make clean
portupgrade -farRx bsdpan-
This will force reinstallation of all your ports. This will take *forever*.
And, just in case, we've tarred up your /usr/local/etc directory so you
have a backup in /tmp!
Good luck!!
Best,
