Hi, is there any way in Debian (4.0 or 5.0) to restore the file permissions - mainly of files inside /etc/ - from the cached packages or the package database or so? The only other chance I see - without reinstalling - would be to install all those packages into a dummy installation (e.g. in a VM) and use that as a template for the existing installation. Is there a better method? Thanks in advance for your help, // Oliver
