Just reinstall the koha-common package. Grab a backup if you want to be
safe, but I'd expect it would be fine. If everything in /etc/ is
untouched (which I'd expect) then it should just magically work again.

Are you able to provide me with more information? Perhaps the logs
in /var/log/apt or so. I'd like to see what was going on there.

So would I. Was this an update, upgrade or [safe?] install? I'm not sure how Debian could have "removed the application Koha" - maybe backing up some .conf files under an "old" name? My own recent but limited experience is that the perl/CPAN involvement is the most time-consuming aspect of upgrading to the latest Koha release, but this could potentially be complicated if an OS upgrade (presumably Linux core) added further factors requiring intervention.
