Re: uninstall/reinstall
Your idea sounds good to me, but I'm new to apt having just
installed it last week. I do know, however, that dpkg -i
package-name.deb will replace the package and keep all the
dependencies correctly, so if you want to download the
actual deb file, you could do that.

Hi folks,
just some practical question.
Does there exist a simple mechanism to reinstall a package,
that might
be
broken by some error? If i use dselect, all dependencies
are also
checked
and lots of packages might be removed.
would
dpkg -r --force-depends XXX ; apt-get install XXX
do what i want ? (Don't like to check it, not to get in
trouble :-) )
Thanks,
Ingo
