I'd have to look through the Debian Policy and Developers Guide to confirm, but I think package's preinst and postinst are supposed to be relatively idempotent. You may be able to re-run those with some argument for all your installed packages. You can find preinst/postinst and other package tracking stuff under /var/lib/dpkg/info. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
