After a powerloss, I lost also all dpkg info, including the "status" file.
Could someone help me get it back to work?
I'm far, far away from the machine, which rebooted nicely (some libraries were also lost, though), but I'd like to reinstall all those libraries which may be useful to get it back to work "just in case".

Thanks in advance

you could be able to find a copy of your lost files in the lost+found
directories. there's one under every mount point. the files are all
renamed, but an editor should let you spot the old status file.

hope it helps.

pietro.
