Re: restoring /var/cache/apt & dpkg
Hello,
So...
/var/cache/apt - I don't have it anymore... what was in file
pkgcache.bin?
/var/lib/apt - it seems that only downloaded Packages&Release files
were there, so no problem
/var/cache/debconf - is gone
/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives - is gone
/var/lib/dpkg/info/ - some files are gone
Where are all important files like database of what is installed?
Does aptitude and dpkg use the same database? Because
/var/lib/aptitude is ok...
