Lost installed packages information...can't install anything
After loosing my var filesystem can't install anything using dselect,
Can I rebuild the installed software database so I don't overwrite what I
already have working OK ?
What is the structure for the /var/lib/dpkg... ? How to rebuild it ?
These are the messages I get
