[plug] Debian packaging, filesystem corruption, verify.

[Michael Holland]

re dpkg, apt again.

I got some nasty root filesystem corruption, and after fsck see lots in
/lost+found .   While my data is backed up, the system software is not
(yet :-) .  I was hoping that the package management system might be able
to check the files and re-install damaged packages, assuming the
package database is intact, but cannot find a way.
   Can that be done in debian/ubuntu?
Is there an equivalent to "rpm --verify", or is RPM the superior system?
:-)

Mike.
