Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
Severity: wishlist
After filesystem corruption (through equipment failure or stupidity), it is
sometimes neccessary to reinstall packages. Currently, the best way to do
so seems to be to do a dpkg --force-depends --remove followed by an apt-get
install. It'd be useful, in such cases, to use "apt-get reload" or somesuch
to reget and reinstall the currently installed version. This is no
different the the normal behavor of apt-get install except that it does not
check that the version being downloaded is >> the existing version.
Thank you,

You mean like the --reinstall option?
