Oops, no more /usr.
I have a Sarge system where I tried to move /usr to a separate
partition. To make a long story short, I accidently copied the Knoppix
cd's /usr, not the deb system's /usr.
I actually saved /usr as /usrold on the original partition, but deleted
it once everything seemed to be working. End result: I have to
regenerate /usr.
I'm thinking I'll have to use dpkg and apt to reinstall any debs that
are already installed (maybe get/set-selections), but this leads me to
two questions.
1: Should I tar /etc before this and overwrite it again afterwards? If
so, are there any other directories I should do the same to?
2: Is there a way to only reinstall packages with files in /usr? For
example, kernel-sources* has files placed in /usr, but kernel-image* do not.
Any other ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
