Shell script to call apt-get install --reinstall
I am trying to call a shell script to reinstall all packages. I have a file
that lists all installed packages called "file". The problem is when I call the
script it just goes by saying it couldn't find the package.
Here is the script.
#!/bin/bash
cat file | (IFS=" " ; while read prog; do apt-get install --reinstall $prog; done)
Thanks
Josh
