If you've been following my other posts, you'll know that I hosed my VPS, and that the restore didn't go too well. What I'd like to do now is repair it.

By that I mean: is there a command-line that I can run that takes a look at the currently-installed packages and reapplies the binaries?

It's Debian 'etch', by the way.

I've got a recent, but suspect, local backup, and a less-recent, but less-supect, local backup so I'm not too bothered about my data.
