Hi, to get some space on my hard disk I deleted the directories and files under the /var/lib/dpkg tree. Later I found out that this was a BIG mistake because dpkg isn't working any more. I managed to access the basic dselect-functions like defining the access method and selecting the packages I want to (re)install but I am not able to start the installation, neither via dselect nor direct with dpkg --install. Even unpacking packages is impossible now... I suppose that I need to resemble the /var/lib/dpkg tree and just want to know if there is any way doing this. Thanks for your help
