Ok, lets say I decide that I've screwed up
iptables. In theory to reinstall it i would do:
apt-get remove
--purge iptables
apt-get clean
apt-get install iptables
But if I do that I will have to reinstall the
dependencys, in this case bind, and netbase. Needless to say, that would
suck and take a lot of time. I have faced
this problem more than once with different packages. So the question is,
has anyone considered adding an apt-get reinstall ? It would just have to
purge the program, temporarily ignoreing the dependencys, and reinstall
it. How viable is this? Or is there another way I don't know
about?
