Being seek of reiserfs (cant handel 60 gb of mp3 files and cant handle the
linux software raid we run on the "danish national radio server") i was
moving all our files (cp) to an backup server ... split the eksisting
patition up in to - and ran mkfs.ext2 on both partitions (and put ext3 on
top) - but somthing went wrong and now i lost our 400 mb "var" partition,
this is not goot sinse i lost the "rpm pacakage list" and lots of other
goodies ... most of it i hat on backups but not the rpm-list (rpm --initdb
dont do it) so now i cant install anything without using "rpm -Uvh
--nodeps --force" so my problem is
1) is there anyway i can get my /var rebuild (reinstalling is NOT an
option) (i dont have much hope about this one - is there any place were i
can see just what i need to put in /var)
2) using "rpm --nodeps (--force)" dont work on all pacaked (i cant install
the kdebase rpm from 29-12 this way) ... what do i then do ????
PLEASE help...

Mvh./Yours sincerely
