Not sure if dkpg requires sudo (as you used in previous examples).
That would save the output of dpkg --get-selections to ./reinstall.list.
So we should be able to process further with:
Code:
sudo apt-get --reinstall $(cat reinstall.list)
Of course you first can review reinstall.list, which i highly recomend - if there are more columns, we'd need to prepare it more.
I have a script updating my system, so i usualy dont pay attention to default outputs unless i start parsing it, so i'm not fully certain of how the output of that command is, as i'm today on rpm-based systems.
I have tested for one package and it was not successful.
Code:
sudo apt-get --reinstall install rpm
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Reinstallation of rpm is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Btw i dont bother about the packages installed, but atleast i want to fix apt-get
Yeah, apt-get systems dont support rpm systems and vice-versa..
One is RedHat (CentOS, Fedora, Scientific Linux) the other is Debian (Mint, [KLUX]buntu).
Those use completly diffrent packaging systems.
You just tried to (re-)install a non-existent package.

Have a try with:
Code:
sudo apt-get --reinstall apt-get
That is considered to be worthwhile before upgrading/reinstalling the rest of the system.
