No, I mean I used aptitude from a visual interface and there
search for the installed packages. When I find one, I hit Shift + L
to mark it for reinstall.

If I mark too many packages, it happen that that aptitude can't
to reinstall them all together.

When I tried to reinstall all installed packages from a file
that contains the names of installed packages, it happen
the same. Aptitude can't to reinstall all installed packages
all together.

So I decided to use aptitude from a visual interface for
this task.

I did this job within 1 hour or so. :)
