hello.
i've come across a need to reinstall some packages, a few times so far.

maybe a 'reinstall' option for apt-get ?
hi Steve,
you allways can do:
apt-get --reinstall install _pkgname_
and if you really want a completelly sane reinstall, previously you can do:
apt-get --purge remove _pkgname_
Bests,
jaume.
