Re: Cannot install, upgrade, remove, etc.



YES! Sorry for that, couldn't help it...

So I managed to get dpkg back on track. I tried to load the fifth debian
cd so as to get access to fsck without having my root partition mounted.
Thing is that there is only e2fsck available so I couldn't. Then I
realized (and I'm pretty ashamed of it! :) that /dev/hda1 was the boot
partition and that it was /dev/hda5 which was problematic... After that
"brilliant" discovery :), I remembered that I had the suse's 8.1 CDs here
and that it supported ReiserFS (actually it was the one proposed by
default). So I booted with them, typed reiserfsck --rebuil-tree /dev/hda5 
and voila. I still got the errors from dpkg but it didn't stop, it
continued the installation process so I reinstalled all problematic
packages and now everything is back to normal!!!

But I wonder now, may there be some problems "left behind", non-apparent
for the moment that could surface latter on ? Is it recommended that I
start all over again so as to make sure ?

Thanks a lot for your help!
