Accidentally deleted apt files.Consequences.

["Luca Renaud" <renaud.luca@gmail.com>]

I have just deleted all in /var/cache/apt/archives/,so I deleted the lock files under /var/cache/apt/archives/
and under /var/cache/apt/archives/partial.Does this have any relevant effect in apt or dpkg
functions? As I see,apt and dpkg seem to function normally.

Is it better to reinstall them(apt,dpkg)?What is the function of that lock  files?
